How do I choose between the experiences in Sestri Levante?

Start with whether you want to be on the water or in a kitchen. Kayak and snorkeling outings and the beginner sea baptism dive suit anyone comfortable in the sea, while pesto and pasta classes need no experience at all and run about an hour.

Do I need experience for the cooking classes or the dive?

No. The pesto and pasta classes are designed for beginners and typically last around an hour, with wine tasting included in some. The beginner sea baptism dive in the Baia del Silenzio is an introductory session in sheltered, shallow water, led by an instructor. Just bring swimwear for the dive and an appetite for the cooking sessions.

About Sestri Levante

Sestri Levante is the rare Ligurian town with two seas: the sheltered Baia del Silenzio on one side of its peninsula and the livelier Baia delle Favole on the other. That geography shapes what you can do here, from a beginner sea baptism dive in the calm water of the Baia del Silenzio to a hands-on Sestri Levante: Pesto & Cooking Classes with Wine Tasting built around the region's signature basil. Food and water set the rhythm, and the town itself stays walkable and unhurried between the two.

Frequently asked questions

Summer is peak season, so cooking classes, kayak trips and dive sessions in the Baia del Silenzio fill up fastest in July and August — book well ahead if those dates matter to you. Spring and early autumn bring calmer water and smaller groups, and availability is usually easier.
