Summary

The only in-depth guide to Liguria, a mountainous region of dizzy passes and breath-taking views. The narrow strip of coast includes gems such as the Italian Riviera, the port city of Genoa, the glitzy resort of Portofino and the Cinque Terra. With a strong regional identity, the spectacular scenery, the mediaeval towns, fishing ports and food have attracted some of the world's most famous writers. This is the only guide with a detailed description of the mountains and hilltop villages. Colorful extras like Italian proverbs and simple recipes are scattered throughout.
