“Sestri Levante, a pearl between two bays”

Located at the south-east of the Gulf of Tigullio the town of Sestri Levante enchants with its wonderful location: between the bay renamed by Christian Andersen "Bay of Fables" and the "Bay of Silence".

In Sestri Levante you can find the sport wave on wave, the free climbing on the rock of ​​Riva Trigoso, the night in the "budello", the folklore of festivals and events that color the streets of the city, the fascinating natural port between hills of olive trees and Mediterranean scrub called Portobello, and the beautiful promontory of Punta Manara.

For nature lovers, Sestri Levante is the perfect starting point for the excursions: from the sites of Punta Manara and Punta Baffe, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the entire Gulf of Tigullio, to the remains Romanesque church of Sant’Anna, passing through the Natural Park of Portofino and then reaching the charming villages of the Cinque Terre Park, easily reachable both by train and by boat, during the summer season, with departures from the tourist port of Sestri Levante.

A lot of events are held throughout the year such as the Blues and Soul Festival, the "Johann Sebastian Bach" National Piano Competition, the Andersen Prize literary competition dedicated to reading for children and teenagers,  the suggestive Barcarolata, the last Sunday of July, parade of boats with prizes for the most imaginatively decorated boat, the Bagnun festival, last weekend of July,in Riva Trigoso, with free distribution of the  typical local dish consisting of fresh sardines and tomatoes placed on bread galettes.
