[2025 Metropolitan City of Genoa Attraction] Travel Guide for Abbazia di San Fruttuoso (Updated Jul)

Italy🌊A small hidden gem resort, a beautiful seaside monastery Today, I discovered another beautiful resort in Italy. This is a monastery located on the seaside, also known as a pearl inlaid on the Portofino Mountain! 🏛Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, Abbey of San Fruttuoso 📍Location: Via S. Fruttuoso, 13, 16032 Camogli GE, Italy 🚢Transportation: The easiest way is by boat, with cruise ships departing from many ports throughout the year (🚗You can't get there by car) 📖About the Abbey of San Fruttuoso: The Abbey of San Fruttuoso was built in the 10th century and is located in a secluded bay on the Italian Riviera near Genoa, between Camogli and Portofino. The surrounding beaches are beautiful and perfect for a holiday

#summervacay I just visited Camogli for the first time, a charming coastal town about two hours from Milan, and I'm completely smitten! I absolutely love how its colorful buildings blend seamlessly with the coastline, creating what feels like a vibrant, dreamlike painting. The main pier is located behind the tower, offering numerous boat trips to nearby spots every day, like Portofino. This time, I took a boat to San Fruttuoso, a serene and mysterious abbey built right on a secluded beach in a cove. The water there was incredibly clear; I can only imagine how crowded it must get in the summer! For me, truly happy times are when I can leisurely soak in the beauty of the world around me. This trip was definitely one of those moments! #Camogli #MilanWeekend #Italy #ItalianRiviera #ColorfulTown #CoastalTown #Liguria #SanFruttuoso #Portofino #TravelItaly #HiddenGemsItaly #BeachLife #TravelDream #EuropeTravel

This is the Bay of San Fruttuoso di Camogli, Italy. It is a small beach dominated by an ancient abbey, between Camogli and Portofino. You can arrive by boat at the Bay of San Fruttuoso, embarking from the neighbouring towns or from Genoa. San Fruttuoso is in a protected marine area, The water is of a crystalline transparency. 300 metres from the beach and 15 metres deep, there is the Christ of the Abyss, a statue sanked into the water. The diving to admire it up close is also suitable for medium-experienced divers, given the shallow depth, but it can only be carried out guided by certified companions. You can also arrive to San Fruttuoso by trekking. There are different paths that you can choose and you will have a breathtaking view of the bay. #italytrip #localguides #liguria #italy #summerdestinations

You could either hike here through the inland route or take a quick 30 minutes or so of ferry to San Fruttuoso. There is not much to do here except for a museum monastery and a small beach. Unfortunately because we hiked here. By the time we reached in the noon, the tiny beach was packed with tourists. But the hike is the best part. Extraordianry views along the way. It can be a bit challenging for those who are not used to. But once you get here you can laze around the beach. Perhaps taking a boat early in the morning or starting sooner would allow for space on the beach. There are a couple of decently priced restaurants too. All in all it can make for a pretty nice day out. It's between Genoa and Portofino. It can be a bit of a hidden gem, had it not been for the ferry making it easy to get here. The water is turquoise blue and the beach looks stunning! #italytrip#camogli #localguides #myhiddengems
