Day 5 - Portofino and San Fruttuoso
We take to the waters on a scenic cruise to Portofino, a
glorious fishing village surrounded by olive groves. Highly
regarded as one of the most beautiful port towns in the
Mediterranean, the town has a stunning natural harbour surrounded
by pastel-painted houses. We enjoy lunch in a local restaurant,
savouring views across the idyllic harbour and ocean beyond as we
dine. We continue to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a stunning abbey
hidden in a stunning bay. Originally built in the 10th century, the
abbey has a rich and fascinating history. Underwater, near the
abbey, is a statue of 'Christ in the Abyss', said to protect local
sailors.
*landing at San Fruttuoso is dependent on weather. If it is
not possible, the boat will land at Santa Margherita.
