About Portovenere
Portovenere rewards first-time visitors who explore on foot, where the caruggi lanes tumble toward the sea and the Gulf of Poets opens up around every corner. A private walk like the Portovenere: Private Walking Tour & Gulf of Poets Views gives you the lay of the land with a local, while the Portovenere: Sunset Boat Aperitif with Award-Winning Chef shows the village from the water at its most photogenic hour.

Frequently asked questions
Portovenere is small and steep, so first-timer tours focus on orientation rather than covering distance. A guided walk helps you find the caruggi, the castle and the church of San Pietro, while a boat trip shows how the village sits between the Gulf of Poets and the islands. Both give context you would miss wandering alone.
