Camogli-possible early dinner excursion from Levanto?

Posted by (Albany, NY) on

I will be in Levanto for 3 nights. First night is recovery from a day-long train travel so I plan to have dinner in Levanto that night (Sunday). Monday or Tuesday, I was planning to spend the time exploring Cinque Terre towns (I do not/cannot hike...will take photos and do shopping/eating only).

My B and B owner in Levanto has highly recommended Camogli also. After doing some research, I am thinking Camogli might be a great place to check out. I am enchanted by the photos I have seen of Camogli taken in the early evening. But, I am a solo female traveler and have to be concerned about heading back to Levanto via train after dinner and arriving when it is dark. I understand taxis are flat 10 euro fee from train station in Levanto and that is fine with me if I want to feel safe.

I have also thought of Sestri Levante and might want to check that out. Thoughts?

Safety should be the least of your concerns. Those are small seaside villages with no crime. Besides in summer there will be many Italian tourists walking around until well past midnight.

Any of those towns are pretty. I liked Moneglia, but it's really small and maybe not much going on if you are looking for "La vida loca" at night.

I am looking for a place where I can linger over several glasses of wine and nosh on some small amounts of food while watching the sun go down overlooking the ocean. I do not drink alcohol except on vacation so I have to eat when drinking and take my time. I want to take some great pictures and then go have some decaf coffee and dessert and catch a train back to Levanto.

Thanks for your insight, Roberto! Greatly appreciated!
