portofino is the most exclusive harbour and resort town in italy, crammed with the yachts of the wealthy.
you can reach portofino by road (cars are not allowed into the village), or boat, from the resort of santa margherita ligure.
above the town are the church of san giorgio, containing relics said to be of the dragon-slayer, and a castle.
you can take a boat to try to locate the cristo degli abissi, a bronze statue of christ that sits on the sea bed near san fruttuoso, acting as protector of sailors.
