The OlivePress : Liguria and Ligurian Sea

Liguria is simply a wonderful region !

You  can breathe our traditions trough a coastline steeped in history, beautiful ports, natural harbours, as well as sandy and pebbly beaches.

Fly into Genoa and visit its town centre, which is the biggest medioeval centre in Europe.

The city is currently making preparations to host the title of European Capital of Culture for the Year 2004.

Walk down to the port, where Cristopher Columbus set sail, visit the famous acquarium and enjoy the original pasta and genoese pesto sauce.

Chiavari is situated 30 km from Genoa, heading towards Tuscany. It is situated between Portofino and Le Cinque Terre.

This small medioeval town is a well known center for local tourism and offers wonderful restaurants and sophisticated shopping along colonnated streets. Walk down to the marina for yachting and water sports, as well as night and day boat trips around the Riviera.
