Excursion to “Punta Manara”


Meeting point:

we meet at 14:00 in front of the church “Basilica Santa Maria di Nazareth“, see picture and map below.

During Wednesday 18th afternoon (roughly at 14.30) it is possible go on a hike to reach Punta Manara in Sestri Levante located along the picturesque Ligurian coast, embarking on an excursion filled with natural wonders and breathtaking views. As you venture along the well-marked trails, the hike gradually unveils stunning vistas of the Ligurian coastline, revealing pristine beaches, hidden coves, and the striking azure waters of the Mediterranean. At Punta Manara’s summit, you’ll be rewarded with an awe-inspiring panorama that stretches as far as the eye can see. The sight of the rugged cliffs, the shimmering sea, and the colorful fishing villages nestled along the coastline creates a truly unforgettable experience.

The hike has a duration of approximately 3 hours round trip (total height difference is 250 m approx, about 6 km round trip) so the return is planned around 18.00. For safety reasons, it is mandatory to wear adequate shoes, since the terrain includes unpaved roads. There are no water fountains along the path, so you will need to bring water. During the hike it will be possible to stop at the viewpoint to take photos.
