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 Terre by sea Sheltered Gulf of Poets Portovenere & Lerici Elba & Tuscan islands
To do & see
  • Cinque Terre
    The five cliff villages, best reached from the water.
  • Portovenere
    Byron's grotto and the church on the point at the gulf's mouth.
  • Isola d'Elba
    Napoleon's island, a comfortable passage down the coast.
Dining & provisioning
  • Portovenere waterfront
    Trofie al pesto and Ligurian seafood on the quay.
  • La Spezia Mercato
    Provisioning at the covered market in town.
Sailing & cruising

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.
