is a rich and varied territory, full of things that are worth discovering. This tract of the Liguria coast, that goes from the municipality of Andora to the French border and is famous for the
Holidays on the Liguria Riviera and especially on the
Riviera of Flowers are suitable for all, given that the territory presents an alternation of mountains, hills, woods, bays and inlets which offer many opportunities for
things to do and see near
Diano Marina.
Toward the Cote d’Azur
It goes without saying that one of the favorite excursions for guests on
holiday on the Riviera of Flowers is a visit to the nearby
Cote d’Azur.
Don’t forget that we are only 1 hour away (by car) from the
Principality of Monaco and from Montecarlo, one hour and 15 minutes from
Nice and circa 1 hour and 40 minutes from
Cannes.
The Riviera of Flowers … and Oil!
Beside the natural wonders and the Liguria landscapes, your visit will also be an excellent occasion to taste the
genuine products of our land.
The vegetable gardens created (not without effort) by peasants on the region’s stone terraces allow the production of
low-acidity extra-virgin oil (produced with the well-known "taggiasca" olive, which is also delicious served in brine) and refined
wines such as Vermentino and Pigato.
Towns for every taste
On the
Riviera of Flowers you will find both mundane towns located on the coast, particularly suitable for traditional tourism – such as
Alassio,
Sanremo and
Diano Marina itself - and
medieval villages perched on the hills – pearls of rare beauty such as
Cervo, Triora, Apricale, Dolceacqua, Pigna and Bussana Vecchia.
A few recommended places to visit:
- Cervo
Near Diano Marina an enchanting medieval town looks onto the sea: Cervo. Don’t miss the splendid view from the square of the majestic Corallini Church. Another interesting site in the town is the ethnographic museum, where you can learn about the lifestyle of the region’s peasants.
- Imperia
In the main city of our province, you should definitely visit the Ponente Ligure International Naval Museum located in the square of the Porto Maurizio Cathedral, and we also recommend the Olive Tree Museum in Imperia Oneglia
- Savona and Surroundings
In Savona and its surroundings, we recommend a walk in the Alassio “budello”, the ancient neighborhood where you will find excellent shopping opportunities. We also recommend visiting the historical center of Albenga.
