Portofino, Italy Photo Gallery

Portofino Lighthouse.

It looks so tiny coming in.

Such a cute port town! In the Disney-Pixar animated film Luca, the fictional town of Portorosso is based on Portofino, as well as other villages in the Italian Riviera.

Brian and I in the cute little village of Portofino.

Restaurants run all along the shore of this port village. They get very crowded at lunch time.

Part of Museo Del Parco,a sculpture garden.-Why a rhino? Beats me. And why is he hanging from straps? Maybe he just dropped in?

Church of San Giorgio-This church was destroyed in WWII, but rebuilt afterward. This is on a steep hill and I jokingly said, "Let's go up there. " We didn't but instead climbed a taller hill. Sometimes we don't know what we're getting into.

Chiesa del Divo Martino or Saint Martin Church.

I have never seen a lemon arbor. I actually didn't see this one either. It was behind a big gate and we held our camera up to see what was behind.

Castello Brown-Its site has been used for military defense since Roman times.

The flowers and hillsides were absolutely gorgeous!

We explored this little town with our friends Shari and Brian Knoll.

A photo from above looking down on the little port town with a population of around only 417. The population explodes during the daytime while cruise ships are in port.

We loved all the flowers and vines growing on the walls.

A path we walked on to go around the hill.

When we got around we saw this.

And this beautiful place!

Only motorcycles could park here.

So charming!

Wow! Such bougainvillea!

A beautiful photo of this fishing village as we leave on the ship tender.

Passing kayakers going into the other little cove that we discovered in our walk.
