Nestled on the Italian Riviera, Santa Margherita Ligure is a charming resort town that often finds itself in the shadow of its more famous neighbor, Portofino. Despite this, it offers a more spacious and less crowded experience, with pastel-painted buildings lining the streets and an array of quaint cafes and boutiques. The town’s larger size provides a more relaxed atmosphere, making it a delightful destination for those seeking the beauty of the Ligurian coast without the overwhelming tourist crowds. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls along the waterfront, savor local cuisine, and take in the stunning sea views.
