Various information
Sestri Levante is one of the most enchanting destinations along the Eastern Ligurian Riviera, known as the "city of two seas" due to its unique location between the Bay of Fairy Tales and the Bay of Silence. The latter, made famous by Hans Christian Andersen, is regarded as one of the most romantic beaches in Italy, featuring pastel-colored houses that face directly onto the sand.
The historic center is a maze of charming alleyways, artisan shops, and quaint restaurants where visitors can savor traditional Ligurian dishes such as trofie with pesto, focaccia, and fresh fish. The seaside promenade offers picturesque views and unforgettable sunsets.
Sestri Levante also serves as an excellent starting point for boat trips to Portofino, the Cinque Terre, and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, as well as for nature trails in the Ligurian hinterland, where vineyards and olive groves shelter authentic villages. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the paths that connect Sestri with nearby towns, enjoying spectacular coastal vistas.
Thanks to its strategic location, it's easy to reach cities like Genoa and La Spezia by train or car, allowing visitors to discover the allure and diversity of Liguria, nestled between the sea and the mountains.
