What a lovely spot! The sea, the castle, the ancient church, the boats, the interesting narrow streets and the great scenery all around. It's high time I visited Italy, never mind my budget. | kyoub Sun Feb 4, 2007 12:13 UTC

The location of the church S. Pietro on the peninsula is great! Portovenere looks like a lovely place to visit, with the sea and colourful houses! |
