At our meeting we will walk through the streets of Santa Margherita, appreciating both the artistic and scenic beauties, until arriving at the boarding for Portofino. Once you reach the iconic village surrounded by colorful houses and elegant shops, we will stroll to Brown Castle to enjoy the view from the Lighthouse. Free time available and then return together to Santa Margherita for 2.15 pm. In case of bad weather you can reach Portofino by public transport. Possibility to request private tours.
