Bogliasco Small Harbour

Bogliasco is a small harbour set in a narrow bay in the village of Bogliasco, located in the Golfo Paradiso within the Metropolitan City of Genoa, just a few kilometres southeast of Genoa itself. The harbour sits at the foot of a compact, colourful old town centre, where a medieval stone bridge connects the two banks of the stream, and a Late Middle Ages castle stands on the headland west of the small harbour — today a private residence that can only be admired from the outside.

A short walk from the harbour brings you to the lively seafront promenade, which begins at the Church of the Nativity of Mary and leads down to a small beach, where the waves also make the spot popular with local surfers. The village is known for its seafaring heritage as a fishing community, as well as for the steep hills and olive groves that frame the small bay.
