Parco naturale regionale di Portofino, Regional natural park in Liguria, Italy.
Parco naturale regionale di Portofino is a protected area with Mediterranean vegetation, dense forests, and coastal landscapes along the Ligurian shore. It spans across several municipalities with marked trails connecting different habitats and settlements.
Archaeological sites show human settlement since the Bronze Age in this territory. Protection began in 1935 and expanded in 1986 to safeguard the landscape for the future.
The park's villages preserve old ways of growing olives and fishing that shape how the land looks and how people live with nature. These traditions remain visible in the daily rhythms of work and in the organization of the countryside.
Marked trails crisscross the park and connect villages with natural habitats throughout the territory. The warmer months offer the best conditions for walking, with easily accessible paths and green landscapes.
Waters around the park contain intact underwater ecosystems with corals and gorgonians. This blend of land and sea life makes it biologically special.
