LEVANTO AND SURROUNDING

 

Levanto

A “Slow city" since 2003, Levanto is located in the Ligurian Riviera of Levante, bordering the Cinque Terre National Park.

In this pretty town you will discover:

  • One of the most beautiful beaches in Liguria, today a popular destination for surfers, partly free, partly equipped,
  • A charming historic center with its medieval loggia, shops, bars, restaurants and a cinema
  • The gardens with children's rides,
  • A romantic stroll on the sea,
  • A marina from which you may book scuba diving or boat trips,
  • A new bicycle and pedestrian path leading through the nearby railroad tunnels to the neighboring towns of Bonassola and Framura, opening on beautiful creeks
  • The opportunity to practice different sports: bicycle tours, swimming, sailing, tennis, skate courses

Many initiatives are offered for entertaining guests and residents: concerts, tastings, literary presentations, beach parties and performances by the historical group of musicians and bandwagon artists.
