🇮🇹 A millennial town, with dreamlike beauty – Cervo 🌊

#Traveling Abroad There are many beautiful towns along the Mediterranean coast, but today we will introduce the small town of Cervo, a jewel of Liguria, which seems to have come straight out of a fairy tale! With a population of just under 1,200, this town has a thousand years of history and is a hidden gem not to be missed✨ 📍 Cervo – Liguria's hidden gem 💡 Origin of the name: "Cervo" means "deer" in Italian. It was named after the herds of deer that were often seen in the Middle Ages. 🏰 Attractive points: Honey-colored medieval architecture, maze-like cobblestone streets, and spectacular sea views. It's like a particularly romantic hideaway in Liguria! 🚗 How to get there ✈️ Nearest airport: Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) → About 1.5 hours by car 🚄 Train: Take a train from Milan/Genoa to Diano Marina Station, then take a taxi for about 10 minutes 🚗 Car rental: If you're driving in Liguria, it's also recommended to drive yourself! 🏰 Must-see spots 🔹 Church of San Giovanni Battista A masterpiece of Ligurian Baroque architecture! Known as the "Church of the Sea," it features an iconic 18th-century bell tower. The catacombs are sometimes open to the public for a special viewing! 🔹 Castello dei Clavesana A castle built in the 12th century, it is now a city hall and museum. The 360° panoramic terrace on the roof is especially worth a visit! 🔹 The Cervo Labyrinth Walking through the town's winding cobblestone streets is like a trip back in time. Recommended route: Start from Piazza Santa Caterina and follow the ceramic signposts. Look out for the family crests above the doors of the old houses 👀 ✨ Local Experiences 🎨 Pottery Workshop: Experience making traditional Ligurian pottery with a local artist! 🛍 Thursday Morning Market: A cozy market filled with fresh local ingredients and handmade goods. 🎭 August "Medieval Night": The whole town is transformed into a medieval world! A festival bustling with people dressed in knight and noble costumes ✨ 🌿 Cervo, where the beautiful sea and medieval streetscapes coexist. With few tourists, it's a town that's truly like a "hidden gem" where you can spend a quiet and romantic time! Why not go see Italy's "next level" spectacular scenery this spring? ✨
