The Surrounding Area
With its enviable location directly overlooking the water and its history dating back to Roman times, Levanto provides the perfect combination of a breathtaking natural landscape and treasured historical buildings.
The valley lying behind the town is covered with olive and pine trees and its ridges slope all the way down to the sea.
The town is closed in by Mesco Peak and Levanto Peak on either side and is part of the mountain community of La Spezia's riviera.
It is so unique, that parts of this area have been included in the Cinque Terre National Park.
Walk through the alleys: a mix of medieval architecture and natural beauty.
Visitors can meander up the narrow alleys that lead from the sea to the 12th century castle, then walk back down along the medieval walls to St. Andrea's Church making their way back to the beach and passing by the Darsena, the docks in the town's ancient port. |
