Parco naturale regionale di Portofino

The park spans 1,056 hectares across multiple municipalities, featuring Mediterranean vegetation, dense forests, and coastal landscapes along the Ligurian shoreline.

Established in 1935 and expanded in 1986, the park contains archaeological sites and ruins that demonstrate continuous human presence since the Bronze Age.

The park territory includes traditional villages where residents maintain local practices of olive cultivation, fishing, and preparation of Ligurian dishes.

Visitors can explore numerous marked trails connecting wild habitats and rural settlements, with guided tours available through the park's official website.

The protected area contains over 700 plant species and 100 bird species, while its marine section preserves intact underwater ecosystems with corals and gorgonians.
