Located on the east side of the Tigullian Gulf, Sestri Levante is rightly called “the city of the two seas” since a small sandy isthmus, with a few characteristic houses, links this resort, which once was an island, to the mainland. |
The picturesque “Baia del Silenzio” (Bay of Silence) and “Baia delle Favole” (Bay of Fairy Tales) were therefore created together with two marvellous beaches. Sestri Levante has a long-standing tradition in fishing, seafaring and agricultural activities, although the latter has been rather scaled down. Its vast hinterland is surrounded by the Gromolo and Petronio valleys, once well known for the copper mines in this area. They are now famous for their beautiful nature where you can walk, go horseriding and mountain biking.
Sports climbing can also be practised from Riva Trigoso, S. Anna and Moneglia. “LEUDO” stands for the seafaring tradition, the beaches are comfortable and relaxing; diving will allow you to discover the beautiful sea bottom still sheltering many wrecks.
