The tall houses of the small port of Camogli. Camogli is not the classic Ligurian village with small and low houses overlooking the sea. In this town in fact the houses are quite tall and large but they climb up the ridge that goes down to the sea and this is the most impressive feature. This shot, taken from the top of the Aurelia, shows the houses built around Castel Dragone and for this reason they have a circular structure.

The small port of Camogli seen from Recco with a telephoto lens. Some time ago I was in Recco and from there I photographed, thanks to a powerful lens, the small port of Camogli. The sky, being summer, was not very clear and therefore the photos are a little blurry but always in an unusual perspective for me.

The most significant architectural aspect of the town is the presence of colored buildings overlooking the beach. The colors and the lighter horizontal lines (called string courses) served the sailors of Camogli to more easily recognize their home among the various floors of the buildings in the village and return there after fishing.

The village of Portofino and the houses overlooking the marina. Going up towards the lighthouse you can't help but admire and take a photo of the sea front of the village of Portofino. A village famous throughout the world for its VIPs and luxury but, fundamentally, a small and beautiful Ligurian seaside village like many others that are equally beautiful (but less famous) that I try to promote on this site.

The village and the small port of Camogli seen from Ruta. In the last few weeks I have gone back and forth between Sestri Levante and Genoa several times; on many occasions, being in the summer season, I went by scooter and was able to enjoy all the beauty of our Riviera di Levante. When the Aurelia then passes by Ruta (of Camogli) the view of the beautiful seaside village is unparalleled, don't you think so too?

Il porticciolo del borgo marinaro di Bogliasco in Liguria. Non la classica foto del porticciolo, che comunque potete trovare anche su questo sito, ma una scattata dal livello del mare alle case ed allo storico Club Nautico (il sito clubnauticobogliasco.it) in primo piano.

It is the first municipality you come across when travelling from Genoa towards the Riviera di Levante, in a small inlet at the mouth of the river of the same name. Among the reliefs of the territory there is Mount Cordona (803 m) along the ancient path to the hamlet of Sessarego and Mount Rotondo (789 m). The beaches alternate with deep and characteristic cliffs. It is possible to practice surfing there. The hinterland is typical of eastern Liguria, partly with strips of olive groves, with the possibility of excursions. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
