Visit Sestri Levante Town In Liguria

The charming town of Sestri Levante is located on the Liguria coast of Italy, built on a jutted out piece of land.

It’s extremely popular with Italian holiday makers and is a sublime tourist haven because of its surrounding views, fabulous beaches and quaint appearance.

Stay in a scenic holiday villa in Sestri Levante overlooking the glittering sea and sandy beaches that line the coast here.

Close to the cities of La Spezia and Genoa, Sestri Levante may not be as well-known as the famous UNESCO awarded Cinque Terre coastal area of Liguria but it is still most certainly worth a visit.

The stunning white sand beaches of Sestri Levante lie within the Bay of the Fables and the Bay of Silence and offer a wide range of water sport activities to dive into!

Sestri Levante was once an island but over the years it became attached to the mainland. The famous Master poet Dante Alighieri loved it so much that he gave it a mention in his famous poem ‘The Divine Comedy’.

On a clear sunny day tourists can easily see parts of the famous five towns of the Cinque Terre and frequent ferries can transport you on a day trip to some of them.

If you happen to be passing through Sestri Levante in May you may catch the charming HC Anderson Festival which celebrates Italian fairy tales.

This is a perfect event for all the family to enjoy with lots of street performances, theatre and feasting to be enjoyed!

Taste the very freshest seafood dishes in the restaurants of Sestri Levante and savour some delicious white wines harvested in the local area.

Then spend the afternoon strolling around the old and new parts of the town admiring the pretty little churches and buildings here. Sestri Levante would be a marvellous place to visit for a day on your travels of the stunning coast of Liguria!
