Visit Rapallo
Rapallo is a harbour town to the north-east of the Portofino peninsula.
The town has a fame dating back to the 1920s when Rapallo became an important centre for writers - including Ezra Pound and D.H. Lawrence among others.
The town has changed significantly during the intervening years and is now a major holiday resort for the region.
The town has preserved some of its appeal, however, and the bay in the town is a pleasant place to visit and explore.
Just off from the town, there is an imposing 16th century castle and a posh marina, approached by a pleasant palm-tree-lined walk.
Thursday - market day in Rapallo - is the most interesting day to visit the town.
