Venture into the breathtaking natural landscapes of the Italian Riviera with a moderate coastal hike through *Portofino Natural Park*, a haven for nature lovers. This trail offers not only a taste of the Mediterranean flora but also a feast for the eyes with panoramic views of the dramatic cliffs and sparkling sea.

Your journey begins in the charming village of *Portofino*, a picturesque gem along the Ligurian coast. Setting out from the town center, you’ll follow a scenic trail winding through pine forests, olive groves, and coastal vistas. The approximately two-hour hike leads to the secluded and serene bay of *San Fruttuoso*, a jewel only accessible by foot or boat. The effort is well rewarded, as the bay reveals an ancient abbey nestled right beside the water.

Once in *San Fruttuoso*, take time to admire the historic *Abbey of San Fruttuoso*, believed to date back to the 10th century. Then, enjoy a leisurely seafood lunch at one of the local beachfront eateries, where you can sample Ligurian specialties while surrounded by tranquil waves and picturesque views.

Following your time in this peaceful cove, hop on the afternoon ferry for a scenic return to *Portofino*, completing a loop of discovery that blends active exploration, cultural heritage, and coastal charm.
