Camogli is a fishing village and resort on the west side of the Portofino peninsula, on the Golfo Paradiso of the Riviera di Levante in Liguria, northern Italy, about 18 km east of Genoa in a straight line, with about 5,332 people. In the late Middle Ages Camogli was a considerable seaport, and at its height its fleet numbered hundreds of tall ships, earning it the name «city of a thousand white sails». It lies within the Portofino Natural Park and marine protected area. Tall narrow houses painted yellow, orange and pink line the waterfront, some decorated with painted false windows, above a pebble beach and clear blue water, with green wooded hills sloping down to the sea behind. It is quieter than Portofino, and you can walk the peninsula's trails from here or take a boat to the abbey of San Fruttuoso, hidden in a small cove. Summer is busy, and spring and autumn are gentler.
