Places to see in ( Sestri Levante - Italy )
Sestri Levante is a town and comune in Liguria, Italy. Lying on the Mediterranean Sea, it is approximately 56 kilometres south of Genoa and is set on a promontory. While nearby Portofino and the Cinque Terre are probably the best-known tourist destinations on the Italian Riviera, Sestri Levante is becoming quite a favorite among Italians. This once quiet fishing village is slowly turning into a tourist hotspot, developing an old and a new town.
Sestri Levante is found approximately halfway between Genoa and La Spezia. The town has two bays: Baia delle Favole, (Bay of the Fables), and Baia del Silenzio, the (Bay of Silence). The original part of Sestri Levante is actually on a peninsula, with the Baia del Silenzio (also known as Portobello) on one side and Baia delle Favole on the other. Baia delle Favole or “Bay of Fairy Tales” was named in honor of Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen, who lived in Sestri Levante for a short time in 1833.
Sestri Levante has its origins as an ancient maritime and merchant center. Originally a small island with a promontory, it was later connected to the mainland. In Roman times, it was known as Segesta Tigullorum (or Tigulliorum) or simply Segesta, but the place was nearly abandoned when the Roman empire collapsed. It was mentioned again in the year 909 in a certificate of Berengar I of Italy, in which part of its territory was ceded to the basilica di San Giovanni di Pavia. During the Middle Ages, Sestri Levante began to expand, probably giving the fortress appearance that is due to the terrain.
In 1133, the noble family of Lavagna, the Fieschi, attacked Tigullio, the gulf in which Sestri Levante is located, however, they were fought off by the powerful Republic of Genoa, and therefore, Sestri Levante became a part of the republic, for military protection. In the year 1145, the abbey of San Colombano was acquired by the Genoese, and was transformed later into a castle.
In 1170, Sestri Levante was attacked by a naval flotilla from Pisa, but was able to withstand the attack. Sestri Levante is mentioned by Dante Alighieri (as Siestri) in Canto 19 of The Divine Comedy. Sestri Levante is also a song by Australian band Tame Impala, and appeared on their album Live Versions.

Cinque Terre
The villages that make up the Cinque Terre (Five Lands) sit on a rocky terrain, but it became land for the local people with the construction of artificial terraces, thus making it possible to develop the wine-growing and agricultural activities we see there today. In geographical terms, the Cinque Terre cover 3,800 hectares and about 13 miles (20 km) of coastline.
This part of the Ligurian coast is a repository of the cultural, historical and architectural patrimony of this region of Italy and the Cinque Terre portray it completely. Any tourist visiting these villages will be persuaded of that.

Places to see in ( Loano - Italy )
Places to see in ( Loano - Italy )
Loano is a comune in the Province of Savona in the Italian region Liguria, located about 60 kilometres southwest of Genoa and about 30 kilometres southwest of Savona. As of 31 December 2015, it had a population of 11 407 and an area of 13.5 square kilometres (5.2 sq mi). The municipality of Loano contains the frazione (subdivision) Verzi. Loano borders the following municipalities: Bardineto, Boissano, Borghetto Santo Spirito, and Pietra Ligure.
Loano ( Löa in the Ligurian dialect) is a municipality in the province of Savona that is a great tourist attraction due to its beautiful beaches and tourist port. Its historical town center is full of history and imposing palaces, decorated with frescoes and rich with traditional craftsmen’s workshops and clustered with several small shops where you can find typical products of the area. It is worth mentioning that there is also the splendid Madonna di Loreto promenade, between sea and tropically-perfumed palm trees.
The beach, stretching for two kilometers is also very suggestive and it is situated east of the breakwater, due to its sand mixed with gravel in front of a sea considered to be amongst the most suggestive of the Ligurian Riviera. Its fauna is still uncontaminated in extremely clear waters rich with mullet, white bream, sea bream, octopi, squid, eels, straccini and many other species, also those passing through these waters. During a boat trip, in autumn and spring, you can often see dolphins in open sea.
In a certain way, the tourist port represents the continuation of the local maritime tradition. Today, it is a small, yet very welcoming port for leisure boaters, equipped with four jetties, with sea beds ranging from 2 to 4 metres deep that can host more than 100 boats, both those fitted with sails and those with engines with facilities including fresh water, fuel, various maintenance services and electricity.
