The enchanting Portofino, 36 kilometers from Genoa, belongs to the Regional Natural Park of Portofino together with other municipalities in Liguria and to the Portofino Marina Reserve. I let myself be fascinated by this inexplicable beauty. In the western part of the Gulf of Tigullio, the village was founded at the time of the Roman Empire under the name Portus Delphini thanks to the populations of dolphins that populated the Gulf area. As far as religious monuments are concerned, it is worth seeing: the church of San Giorgio, dating back to the twelfth century, was rebuilt after World War II.

In the oldest village of Portofino I recommend visiting the church of San Martino. Finally, the oratory of Our Lady of the Assumption, the seat of the Contranternity of the Assumption belongs to the fourteenth-century period. In Portofino we can find numerous activities to practice in the precious Ligurian nature: to encourage swimming, a marine path for swimmers was organized that part of the beach of Camogli and arrives in the vicinity of Porto Pidocchio.

This route is called the blue mile. The photo contest has already begun, which will take place until September and which has as its theme the backdrops of the marine protected area of Portofino. All divers are invited to participate in this competition whose purpose is to contribute with the research activity. Immersing yourself in the different sports and cultural activities organized by the various bodies of Portofino is also a different way of merging culture and passions while enjoying this splendid panorama made of views from films. .
