Portofino is an Italian fishing village, and upmarket resort famous for its picturesque harbour and historical association with celebrity visitors. Surrounded by pine trees and olive groves, Portofino retains the charm of the original fishing village despite its jet-set reputation.

According to Pliny the Elder, an author and commander in early Roman empire, Portofino was founded by the Romans and named Portus Delphini, or Port of the Dolphin, because of the large number of dolphins that inhabited the Tigullian Gulf.

A popular Portofino attraction is the Statue of Christ of the Abyss, a 2.5 meter tall statue of Jesus put underwater on August 29, 1954 in the small bay at a depth of 17 metres. This statue was placed to protect fishermen and scuba divers and in memory of Duilio Marcante.

Visit narrow winding streets of Old town and take in the view from the top of the old castle ruins. Sit at street side tables and enjoy the favoured hobby of people watching up and down the La Croisette or watch out for spectacular fireworks displays at night along the beach.
