Day 2: Portofino penisula
Hike from Camogli to San Fruttuoso Abbey set in a small cove only reachable by boat or on foot. is a demanding hike, with plenty of ups and downs. About half-hour before reaching the abbey you can stop for lunch at “Agriturifugio Mulino” A simple farmhouse away from the crowd of the abbey. If you start at 9 am from Camogli we can have lunch around 12h30. Another half-hour hike and, after a quick look at the abbey you can catch a boat to and therefore we will have enough time to catch the boat to Portofino, the small harbor of the jet-set crowd. Admire the yachts and the outrageously priced boutiques before returning by boat to Camogli.
