This colorful fishing town on the Italian Riviera completely reshaped my Liguria itinerary. I came for the famous waterfront view and ended up staying for a week.
Camogli has that classic Ligurian scenery: tall pastel houses stacked above the sea, painted shutters that are not always real, a dark pebble beach, fishing boats in the harbor, and the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta sitting right above the water.
But there’s more to do than just take photos.
You can swim at Camogli Beach, look for the tiny painted details on the facades, hike through Portofino Natural Park, take a boat to San Fruttuoso, try focaccia di Recco, stay for aperitivo with a sea view, and watch the town glow at blue hour.
If you’re looking for a less obvious Italian Riviera base between Genoa, Portofino, and Cinque Terre, Camogli is such a good one.
