Full description
Things you can do when inspiration strikes: write a poem or set sail on a boat tour in the Gulf of Poets. How about it?
Spend a day on a gozzo with a skipper, sailing between La Spezia, Lerici, Palmaria and Portovenere, and discover why this area of Liguria was so popular with writers and artists.
Between a dip in the water, a souvenir photo and an aperitif with Ligurian focaccia, you will return home with enough material to write entire books!
What we will do
The rendezvous is in La Spezia (SP), 15 minutes before the time indicated in the booking.
Here we will meet the skipper who will take us aboard the gozzo Gaia and begin our tour of the Golfo dei Poeti. Initially we will head towards the colourful Lerici, where we can choose whether to go ashore for a free 45-minute visit or to stop for a swim near Tellaro.
We will then resume sailing to the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, a small archipelago in the Gulf of La Spezia.
In Palmaria we will stop for about an hour and a half for a long swim and an aperitif on board, with products such as focaccia, pizza, and seasonal fruit, accompanied by beer, wine, or soft drinks. Those who wish can ask the skipper to disembark at Palmaria's Pozzale beach for lunch in the restaurant there (lunch not included).
In the afternoon we will stop at Portovenere and the Grotta Byron, so dear to the English poet. Here we will have about 45 minutes to freely visit Portovenere on foot or, for those who prefer, enjoy another swimming break.
We will return to La Spezia after a 7-hour excursion.
