Description

Enhance your shoreside experience with a Regent Choice small group tour. Hosting no more than 16 guests, these tours provide a more intimate experience and allow for more personal engagement with your knowledgeable guide.

Cruise to the sublime village of Portovenere, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site designation of this stretch of the Ligurian coast due to its outstanding beauty and traditional way of life, which has barely changed over the centuries. Once you arrive in marvelous Portovenere, you’ll understand why it’s considered one of the Italian Riviera’s most scenic fishing villages. Along with your guide, make your way to the Carugio, a narrow lane lined with fashionable shops and charming, earth-toned architecture. Follow the street to a breathtaking square and a Gothic church named for Saint Peter, the Chiesa di San Pietro. Learn the ancient church, which proudly overlooks the glittering sea, was modified in the 13th century, when its distinctive black and white stripes were added. On the Calata Doria, the village’s quay, look up at tall houses looming above that were originally built as defense towers. You’ll revel in more than two hours to shop and explore Portovenere, perhaps visiting the Romanesque Chiesa di San Lorenzo or ascending to the remains of the Castello Doria for magnificent views of the village and the luxuriantly green island of Palmaria.
