Full description

Embark on a boat tour in the Gulf of Poets to discover its fascinating history. The Gulf of Poets is a captivating bay named after the numerous poets who lived and wrote about it. Napoleon Bonaparte declared, "It is the most beautiful gulf in the universe." This enchanting tour will take you to explore two extraordinary stops in this unique bay in Liguria, known for inspiring poets and artists of worldwide fame.

The first stop is Porto Venere, the most colorful and characteristic town in the bay. According to legend, it was born from the foam formed by the sea crashing against the rocks of Lord Byron's cave. Here, you can dive into the crystal-clear waters, admiring the landscape from a different perspective and discovering the magic of this picturesque place.

The second stop is Lerici, a small town nestled in a natural inlet on the eastern Riviera of the gulf. Its San Giorgio Castle dominates the harbor, offering a breathtaking view. Here too, you will have the opportunity to swim among ancient castles and constructions dating back to World War II, immersing yourself in the history and natural beauty of the place.

Join us for this unforgettable experience and be enchanted by the wonders of the Gulf of Poets.
