rcflyer Posted April 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hello, we're on Ventura in Jul and stop in Santa Margherita. I wondered if it's easy to get to Portofino on foot or perhaps by bus from the ship rather than take a tour? Thoughts or advice would be much appreciated, thanks. :) David.

richardj Posted April 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not sure about buses but you can take a launch from the quay neer where the tenders dock. We were there last year on the Arcadia and found it very easy to get to this way. Regards Richardj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shez Posted May 1, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I booked an excursion for Portofino which took us from the quayside to a small village called Camougli and then on to Portofino and it was amazing. I could have stayed in Camougli all day, it was beautiful , and then finished off swimming in Santa Margherita, not far from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8T Posted May 5, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi I wouldn't worry about a tour if it is only Portofino you want to see. Get the little motor launch taxi service accross the water, it is a regular service, or was! Portofino is probably one of the nicest places to sit outside and have a meal. A local taxi can take you back to the ship via the scenic routes and won't cost as much as you would pay for a tour. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmaduke Posted May 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Last year we used the local bus service from Portofino to Santa Margherita it was 1 Euro each way and I think there were about 2 or 3 buses per hour. You can also get the bus from Santa Margherita to Rapallo in the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
