Hike to San Fruttuoso Abbey from Portofino, Portofino
Overview
The hike begins from Portofino in the town center, where you'll walk for about two hours along a scenic trail. Eventually, you’ll arrive at the picturesque town and bay of San Fruttuoso, known for its ancient abbey. You can reach this cove only by foot or boat, which means the area remains largely hidden and undiscovered—well worth a visit!
At San Fruttuoso, enjoy a seafood lunch in one of the waterfront restaurants and some free time to visit the abbey. Then, to return to Portofino, you’ll take a local afternoon ferry.
