Sestri Levante is an old town that is in close contact with the sea like so many other towns in Liguria.
Sestri Levante is surrounded by an enchanting landscape characterized by cliffs and sea. As an ancient maritime hub, the town has become a major holiday destination in both the new and the old parts of town. Sestri Levante sits on a picturesque peninsula with a bay on either side, La Baia del Silenzio (Pacific Bay) and La Baia delle Favole (Adventure Bay). The latter is named after Hans Christian Andersen, who stayed in Sestri Levante during his time in Italy. The town also has an adventure festival which is an annual recurring event.
