Italy off the beaten path

Undiscovered places in Europe

Camogli

Camogli is a fishing village overlooking the Paradiso gulf.
With its colourful buildings it reminds me of a postcard, one you’d send to loved ones.
Here you can try the world famous PGI Focaccia from Revello Focacceria. The local desserts here are amazing!  

Nervi

From the suggestive and romantic walk of 2 km, built along the cliff and dedicated to Anita Garibaldi we reach the Nervi’s Parks, 92 hectares in which over a 100 different species of plants, a rose garden and a few historic villas of the Renaissance bourgeoisie can be found.
Moving on we will arrive at the Groppallo Tower. In 1600 it was used to spot Saracen Boats.
The position of the cliff and the mountains shelter Nervi from the cold winter winds making this place the mildest in Genoan lands.
