Where she lies
The Gulf of Poets on your doorstep
La Spezia sits at the head of the Golfo dei Poeti, the sheltered Ligurian bay that seduced Byron and Shelley. Keep a boat here and the Cinque Terre, Portovenere and Lerici are a short sail away, with the Tuscan archipelago and Elba just down the coast — warm-water Mediterranean cruising from one of Italy's great natural harbours.
-
Cinque TerreThe five cliff villages, best reached from the water.
-
PortovenereByron's grotto and the church on the point at the gulf's mouth.
-
Isola d'ElbaNapoleon's island, a comfortable passage down the coast.
-
Portovenere waterfrontTrofie al pesto and Ligurian seafood on the quay.
-
La Spezia MercatoProvisioning at the covered market in town.
A large, well-sheltered gulf with reliable summer breezes — an easy base. The Cinque Terre, Portovenere and Lerici are day-sails; watch the afternoon sea breeze and the exposed stretch toward Genoa. Elba and the Tuscan archipelago open up to the south.
