Here are some enchanting and little-known places to spend an unforgettable weekend in Liguria, away from the tourist crowds.
In recent years, the greatest aspiration of travelers has become to find beautiful but little-known places to spend their holidays without huge crowds of people. In Liguria it may seem like an impossible feat, but it is not: Here are some places to visit on a weekend that few people still know about.
Weekend in Liguria
With the advent of Instagram and travel influencers, local destinations have found a new lease of life, and today they represent the primary choice for many Italians, who prefer to travel little from home for their holidays and discover wonderful territories in our beautiful Italy. Precisely thanks to this trend, many places have been “discovered” and “rediscovered” by travellers, who appreciate them precisely for the fact that they are not too famous.
Covid is also an accomplice, The idea of spending a holiday among crowds of tourists no longer appeals to anyone. So we are always looking for new places to visit, and which we can see in peace. In short, those places where mass tourism has not yet arrived. If you think about Liguria this seems impossible to achieve, between the Cinque Terre and Portofino, but in reality there are many places that are still little knownwhere you can spend a splendid weekend dedicated to the hidden beauties of the Ligurian land.
Little-known places
Instead of heading to the classic (and beautiful) Cinque Terre, a weekend in Liguria can start from the town of Varigotti, from which you can then reach the Saracen Bay, a wonderful place that seems to have come out of a painting. For lunch the ideal is to choose one of the many small restaurants on the sea in Borgio Verezzi. After eating you can move to Finalborgo, and visit its labyrinthine historic centrepicturesque and super photogenic, surrounded by medieval walls and lots of nature.
On the second day you can dedicate the morning to Relax on the beach on Malpasso beachwhere the blue and clear water has nothing to envy of other much more well-known and popular beaches. In the afternoon I recommend you take a stroll around the village of Verezziand stop for an aperitif or dinner in one of its many typical restaurants, perhaps with a beautiful view of the coast. By following this itinerary you can discover many villages and magical places, where tourists have not yet arrived and where you can still breathe a lot of tranquility, authenticity and relaxation. They are perfect for a slow living weekend, far from the crowds!
