Liguria is
the Italian Riviera!
Italy is
bordered by France, Switzerland and Austria to the north and by the
Mediterranean Sea on the West and the Adriatic Sea on East.
Italy is comprised of 20 individual
regions. Tuscany, Umbria, Sicily - are some of the regions that most
people are familiar with. The
Liguria Region is situated in the northwestern part of Italy.
Liguria is the Italian Riviera
and runs as you cross over from the French Riviera down the magnificent
Mediterranean coast to a town called La Spezia. There it is
bordered by Tuscany.
Once you get
here you'll wonder why you didn't visit sooner or why no one ever told you
about it. Well that's because most people know of or have visited the
well
traveled areas of Italy: Venice, Rome, the Tuscany region, etc. - but the
sweeping Ligurian coastline with it's pastel colored villas is not as
highly publicized. Probably because the Ligurians prefer it that
way.
Funny people
- the Ligurians. They're very private people so when you arrive you
might get a bit of a cold shoulder, but once you've befriended them you'll
have a friend for life.
The peace and
quite of the calm seaside towns which dot this beautiful area will help
you recover from the every day strain of a hectic way of life.
You'll find yourself saying ... "maybe there is another
way."
As you mingle
along the Italian Riviera (Liguria) you'll view some of the most
spectacular sites and around every curve you'll witness the beauty of
nature at the state of the art. You will wonder if this is heaven on
earth. The crystal clear skies that contrast the deep blue sea and
the quaint pastel houses nested upon the hills - make for a little white
pin-light display every evening. Now that's a picture!
