About Portovenere
Portovenere's appeal for photographers is written into its geography: the striped facade of San Pietro church on the rocky spur, the caruggi lanes climbing behind the harbour, and Palmaria island sitting just offshore across the Gulf of Poets. Light does most of the work here, which is why so many of the best shoots happen from the water — the La Spezia: Sunset Boat Tour with Aperitivo and Island Views times its route to the evening glow, while the Portovenere & Gulf of Poets Half-Day Boat Tour from La Spezia gives you longer daylight hours to work the coastline from sea level.

Frequently asked questions
The terrace beside San Pietro church catches the last light on the cliffs and is the classic foreground for Palmaria. Byron's Grotto below the castle frames the open sea, and the Doria Castle walls give you the village rooftops with the gulf behind.
