The summer season is just around the corner: marinas like our tourist port of Genoa are becoming increasingly populated, and boat berth reservations are now necessary to ensure a mooring for your vessel. And certainly, with the start of the bathing season, our Liguria becomes even more of a destination for many boaters, from those in Italy to those coming from abroad. To relax on the beaches of the Ligurian Riviera, to sail along the coast, to discover the beauty and culture of Genoa or the stunning landscape of this unique territory, or to be tempted by the rich gastronomic tradition. But that’s not all, as in Liguria and Genoa, with the start of summer, events multiply: we have therefore summarized the events scheduled for June 2023 in Genoa and Liguria, to best plan your boating outings (and more) in the coming weeks.
