When you pull into the tiny town of Portofino, you can expect postcard-worthy views. Nestled in a cove overlooking the Mediterranean, Portofino rivals cliffside Positano in its charm. Located on the northwest coast of Italy, Portofino's closest major city is Genoa. Your ship may dock in Genoa – and transport cruisers to Portofino – or anchor off of the nearby town of Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy. After tendering in, walk the 3-mile scenic overlook path between the two towns. Stroll the path from the right side of the harbor to view the 12th-century Church of San Martino. A variety of cruise lines, including Azamara, Celebrity Cruises and Windstar, offer sailings to Portofino.
