About La Spezia
La Spezia sits at the head of the Gulf of Poets, a natural harbour that puts you on the water within minutes of the city centre and opens straight onto the cliffs and coves of the Cinque Terre and the eastern coastline. Short, small-group outings are the local speciality, from the Framura Express: Explore the Eastern Coast by Dinghy, Discover Caves & Hidden Coves to the Cinque Terre by Sea: Snorkeling & Unforgettable Landscapes, both of which trade big-boat crowds for close-up access to caves and swimming stops.

Frequently asked questions
La Spezia's gulf and the Cinque Terre coastline are best understood from sea level: villages stacked above the water, sea caves, and coves you cannot reach on foot. Boat trips leave from the city port and cover the Gulf of Poets or run east toward Framura and Monterosso, often with swimming and snorkeling stops built into the route.
