Portofino is one of the Italian Riviera's most iconic destinations and needs little introduction. Once a small fishing village, it has evolved into an elegant, exclusive resort town known for its picturesque harbour, colourful waterfront and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere.
Today, the harbour is often home to luxury yachts, while the pedestrianised streets are lined with cafés, stylish restaurants and chic designer boutiques. Despite its reputation for glamour, Portofino retains much of the charm that first made it famous.
One of the best ways to experience the village is on foot. A walk up to St. George's Church and onwards to the lighthouse rewards visitors with wonderful views across the harbour, coastline and the sparkling Sea.
Portofino is one of the highlights featured on Mistral Holidays' Italy's Mediterranean Riviera and Cinque Terre tour, alongside visits to the colourful villages of Cinque Terre and some of Tuscany's best-known historic towns.
