Camogli
A fishing village on the western side of the Portofino peninsula, known for its rows of tall, colorful seafront houses and painted fake windows.
Camogli is a fishing port on the western side of the Portofino peninsula. Along the seafront, rows of six- to seven-storey colorful houses stand right beside the pebble beach. Their walls are painted with lifelike fake windows and decorative trim, and the village has more everyday local life than Portofino. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta stands on the rocks beside the harbor, and it is the most photogenic spot in town. On the second Sunday of May each year, the Festa del Pesce takes place. Fish is fried in a cauldron nearly 4 metres in diameter and handed out free. Trains from Sestri Levante or Genoa reach Camogli, and boats from the harbor go to San Fruttuoso and Portofino.
