113. Portofino More than just Picture Perfect!

Portofino is truly a stunning little harbor, and once you are seated under the green and white striped awning of Taverna del Marinaio sipping a cocktail, you will understand why people have flocked here for generations. Beautiful places attract beautiful people, so you will have plenty of eye candy to look at.

However, there is rich history as well for such a teeny village. Ships sought refuge in the protected harbor since the first century, and one thousand or so years later, they built a duomo that appears simple from the exterior yet is surprisingly ornate once you enter. The castle with it's distinguished location on top of the rock promontory dates back to Middle Ages, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Put Portofino on your list of treats, just try to visit slightly off season and live La Dolce Vita as best you can!
