On the eastern extremity of Liguria, between Lerici and Porto Venere, lies one of the largest and most beautiful natural havens in the Mediterranean: the Gulf of La Spezia, also known as the Gulf of Poets.

This name derives from the passion of several giants of international literature for this place, where they spent part of their lives.

Indeed the beauty of this ‘amphitheatre of waters’ attracted authors such as Dante, Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, Virginia Wolf and others.

The beauty of the surrounding landscape is matched by remarkable nautical infrastructures.

For yachtsmen who want to enjoy the wonders of the Ligurian Riviera, there are various mooring options.

These include Porto Mirabello, which is directly connected to the city of La Spezia and is a modern facility also suitable for MegaYachts, and Porto Lotti, further east, which is just as modern and hospitable.

La Spezia is easily accessible from Genoa, Parma, Pisa International Airport and is not far from Milan.
