Beaches of the Ligurian coast
Sandy beaches start near San Lorenzo al Mare and stretch to Alassio. There are very few free beaches in Liguria. The majority is surrounded by hedges and the entrance is paid, umbrellas and beds are also for money. Only some hotels have their own beaches, free only for residents.

The choice of family apartments (usually with a kitchen) is also quite large. In addition to traditional types of recreation with accommodation in the hotel, a special type of tourism is popular here - the so-called "agriturismo" (agriturismo). This kind of recreation means living and eating in a small boarding house located on the territory of a peasant farm, and allows you to feel deeper the atmosphere and traditions of the region. The choice here is huge - from simple peasant houses to almost feudal estates.
Kitchen and restaurants
Many cafes offer, for the most part, Italian cuisine: a variety of pastas with local seasonings, pizzas with any conceivable fillings, all kinds of seafood, famous Italian desserts .Among all this variety, it's easy to find something dietary, especially since all dishes from fresh local products are cooked .Separately it is necessary to say about Italian wines .The fact that they are magnificent is a fact undeniable, it is unlikely that someone will argue with this .But to drink a glass of Italian wine, sitting in a nice cafe on the waterfront and admiring the unique shade of the water of the Ligurian Sea, it's just an incomparable pleasure .It is interesting to bring as close as possible traditional people Italian products .This and multi-colored spaghetti (especially exotic look black, they are painted in ink cuttlefish), and Parma ham, sliced in transparent slices, and cheeses of different varieties, and local seasonings - generous gifts of Liguria .
Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Liguria
Such a fertile piece of land could not but become a subject of interest of various conquerors .Liguria many times passed from hand to hand, and in 1814 became a member of the Kingdom of Sardinia .It's clear that everyone who ruled Liguria left a significant mark in its culture and architecture .As a result, this region is very rich in monuments, sights and simply interesting and pleasant architectural buildings: it's Renaissance palaces, and ancient amphitheatres, and strict cathedrals, and charming narrow streets, houses painted with light pastel colors and buried in gardens .
The capital of Liguria, Genoa, descends from the mountains a picturesque amphitheater to the seashore, where there is a port surrounded by palaces .The centuries-old history of this city is filled with dramatic events, but always this city had a huge significance for the country's development .To the west of Genoa is located Arenzano, a small town with wonderful pebble beaches and inexpensive service .It is followed by Celle-Ligure - a resort famous for its variety of water attractions, Savona with a rich picture gallery, Albenga, where you can see the many ruins of antique buildings (in ancient times it was here that the fleet of Rome was based), then - Alassio .Sophia Loren, Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin and Louis Armstrong at various times left their autographs on the wall in the famous "Roman" cafe on the waterfront of this city, one of the most attractive resorts not only of Liguria, but of the world .Consider these autographs, and just sit over a cup of coffee in such an attractive place is easy: planes in Genoa fly often, and leisure in Liguria is attractive on all counts .
