Italian Riviera :

The Italian Riviera begins at the border of France and extends south, through the region of Liguria, until Tuscany. Otherwise known as the Ligurian coast, it boasts noble seaside towns with grand Italian buildings in shades of blush, rose and sand, shrouded in pine and palm trees. Here, one of the most famous Italian resort towns, Portofino, is hosted along with other coastal jewels in the greater Genoa area such as Rapallo, San Fruttuoso and Camogli. Cinque Terre, a string of five historic towns, are quintessentially Ligurian with the colorful homes quaintly decorating the coast. Stoney watch towers, centuries old monasteries and a never ending selection of natural coastal trails and trattorias serving seafood and the famous local pesto make for a sensual feast.

Amalfi Coast & Capri :

The famous Amalfi coast is further south from the Italian Riviera and has a feast of delights to visit all within a close cruising distance. From this yachting haven, the island of Capri is accessible, with its lemon trees and dizzying heights that make for a dramatic landscape from the sea. The town of Amalfi, the ancient Maritime Republic, gave its name to the coast. Unlike some of the more colorful towns in Italy, Amalfi is a cluster of white homes surrounded by winding streets. At the center of the town is the Arab-Sicilian Cathedral of St. Andrew which was rebuilt in Baroque style. Visiting the paper museum gives on a feel for the artisanal touch in this area. Another must-see town in the middle of this heavenly coast is Ravello, perching 365 Meters high atop a large rock. The enchanting villas and gardens with panoramic views make this town unforgettable.

The numerous churches are characteristic of the town. One cannot say ‘Amalfi Coast’ without mentioning Positano, the famed holiday resort town since Roman times; it rolls off the tongue the way an Aperol Spritz slides down! Bask in the sun on the Sun Deck and cruise by the charming seaside villages, knowing this is the heart of the Mediterranean summer lifestyle!
