Portofino is a beautiful town situated near Santa Margharita in Northern Italy. It is lined with mega yachts and picture perfect buildings with all the charm Italy can offer. It is best to approach Portofino from the water by boat.

Portofino is a small seaside village known for its charm. It has a marina lined with cafes with hills as a backdrop. It is very colorful and very green surrounded with aqua water.

Favourite spots: |
Strolling down the marina area is a treat. There was a melodic song long ago called "I fell in love in Portofino" sung in french by Egyptian-Italian female artist Dalida. It is a love song still very fit for this place. Many locals I met still remembered the song.
