About Portovenere
Portovenere sits where the Ligurian coast folds into the Gulf of Poets, and the water itself is the main attraction: sea caves, cliffs, and the three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto are only reachable by boat. A short cruise like the Portovenere: Palmaria, Tino & Tinetto Islands Boat Tour in the Gulf of Poets gets you close to the marine life and rock formations, while the Sunset Boat Tour in Portovenere & Palmaria: Aperitif & Swim adds a swim stop and golden-hour views.

Frequently asked questions
The Gulf of Poets is a protected marine area, so cruises here focus on the coastline itself: the sea caves and cliffs of Palmaria, the uninhabited islets of Tino and Tinetto, and clear water for swimming. Small boats can reach coves and rock formations that are inaccessible on foot, making a cruise the most direct way to experience the area's.
