My personal guide
by Helga67
During my short trip to the Ligurian East Coast to meet up with Chiara, we also paid a small visit to this lovely coastal town.
Chiara was our perfect guide, who showed us the most lovely spots of Sestri Levante in only two hours time.
Thanks a lot Chiara for your time and company. Without you I would have never been to this wonderful town.
Baia del Silenzio
by dabuwan
Baia del Silenzio is the the smallest of the two bays on the Peninsula sides.
It is a cosy place with a very nice beach that can get really crowded in summer. It is a favourite spot for the locals and it is pleasantly warm all year round, as it is sheltered by the old houses and the hills. The sea is always calm, here, and it is ideal for swimmings (OK for kids, too).
It is a very scenic and picturesque spot.
The leudo
by dabuwan
"Leudo" is the name of a kind of boat typical of Sestri Levante and the surrounding areas.
It is a large wooden boat that was used until 40 years ago by the local fishermen.
Until a few years ago some leudi were still sailing around (for tourism) but now the only one that is left (it's expensibe to maintain them) is here on the beach and is still in good condition. I love this boat as it is a true symbol of my birth place.
Sestri Levante at the Ligurian Coast
by Helga67
This was a town, I didn't want to miss when visiting the Ligurian East Coast. Reading about it on the internet, the town fascinated me because of its special shape. It is divided by a
a narrow strip of land and has a bay on each side.
I enjoyed every minute of my two hours stay here, and love to come back one day.
