Instead of staying in La Spezia, explore the enigmatic Cinque Terre at your comfort from Portovenere as your base. Set out from the shoreline into the stunning blue water. There is also a hidden cove, Grotta di Lord Byron, on the western side of Scalinata observation deck. From the Gulf of Poet’s Maritime Consortium Turistico jetty take a water taxi on to the other towns in the network. #cinqueterre #italianriviera #ligurianriviera #portovenere #laspezia #italy #beaches #watercruise #travel #wanderlust #curioushumanics
