Sunset tour Porto Venere and islands - AD MAIORA

Duration
3 h
Starting point
La Spezia (Porto Mirabello)
Tour information

We will cross the Gulf of Poets to discover the village of Porto Venere and the Palmaria Island archipelago (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto). They are recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites, 3 beautiful islands of different sizes and unspoilt by structures. Opposite Palmaria Island lies the village of Porto Venere, your first stop on the tour, recognisable by its colourful terraced houses and the famous church of San Pietro overlooking the sea. Here you can disembark and visit the village, the caruggio, the sea-calata, the Churches of S. Pietro, S. Lorenzo, the ancient walls and the Doria Castle to enjoy the panorama of Porto Venere seen from another angle. The captain will be waiting for you on board. The second stop on your tour will be Palmaria Island, a true nature-hiking paradise. On the island there are a number of natural caves and a series of military fortifications, now converted into tourist facilities; here it will be possible to stop for lunch in a typical island restaurant. After lunch, we will sail to the other two small islands: the island of Tino, once the site of a monastery, now a military area, and Tinetto, little more than a rock on which monks had built small religious structures, now completely abandoned. Finally, you can admire the wonderful Grotta, dedicated to the English poet Lord Byron. Returning towards La Spezia, we will find on our left some seaside villages, Le Grazie, Fezzano and Cadimare.

Brillant tour
Amazing trip, great value for money. So handy we jumped on the bus at the port at 10am and they took us straight to Pisa hassle free we got two hour which was plenty of time. Then we also got a stop at the beautiful town of Lerici and we’re back for 4pm. The tour guide Ambra was brillant and spoke English Spanish and Italian. Would highly recommend.
