All of these places can be visited by regular boat service, much more relaxing than driving, also there is a regular train service. Just a few kilometers drive will take you to little known Zoagli, which has two lovely walks right down on the edge of the sea, and Camogli with its spectacular seafront, backed by picturesque painted house, and literally hanging over the beach, the perfect place for a relaxing cappuccino, or a glass of wine. Genoa, which is the main town of the area is 1 hour by car, it has a wonderful Medioeval centre with narrow twisting streets and excellent museums. Also in part of the old port, where once the cotton, coffee and other exotic merchandise was stored, you can now wine, dine and be entertained by musicians, while sipping a glass of excellent Italian wine, visit the famous aquarium, or just sit and watch the world go by! This is a popular Italian pastime which you can do nearly anywhere!!
