Walking among the colorful houses and caruggi of Camogli, one breathes in the true Ligurian essence: the lively small port, with gozzi and nets in the sun, is a meeting point for residents and visitors from Italy and abroad, attracted by the "city of a thousand white sailing ships." The village holds such treasures as the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, overlooking the ancient medieval island, and the elegant Teatro Sociale, active since 1876 with prose and music performances. The deep connection with the sea lives on in popular traditions such as the Feast of St. Fortunato, the Fish Festival and the Stella Maris. Nature lovers can explore the paths of Portofino Park, such as the one leading to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, or venture into the Marine Protected Area and the Cetacean Sanctuary. Camogli has been awarded Blue Flag and Lilac Flag status for years.
