Hidden at the bottom of an almost inaccessible cove, Portofino is an old fishing village, which has become a symbol of Italian class and elegance. For large Italian families, Portofino has always been a destination of choice. Trattorias, cafés, fashion shops, ice-cream parlours surround the marina where the café terraces are the ideal place to enjoy this fascinating live show. Portofino is the ideal destination for a luxury yacht charter. The city is concentrated around its port, and is best known for the brightly painted houses all around.
The main points of interest in Portofino are the church of San Martino, that of San Giorgio, the oratory of Santa Maria Assunta and its Gothic style, but above all the statue of Christ of the Abyss which was immersed in 1954 at a depth of 17 meters to protect fishermen and divers.
