     Portofino - a picturesque harbor of the Mediterranean  
Portofino - a charming resort town of Italy's population of just over five hundred indigenous inhabitants. The coast around the town dotted with peaceful and cozy harbors are among the most picturesque in the whole Mediterranean.  
The town is very small, but despite this, widely known as one of the finest spa centers throughout Europe. Portofino is located 30 kilometers from the city of Genoa, in Liguria.  
Founded by the Romans once Portofino was originally named Port Dolphin. This town got the name from the fact that in these waters inhabited by large number of these lovely marine inhabitants.  
The first written mention of Portofino refers to the year 986, in the early 13th century the town became part of the Genoese republic. For a long period, local port, previously served as a parking area for small fishing boats, was heavily congested due to the large number of Genoese trading ships arriving in Portofino from all over the world.  
In the early 15 th century French King Charles VI passes Portofino Florentine Republic, but not for long, because soon, under the pressure of the Genoese town is coming back to their power. From 1815 to 1860 Portofino passes into the possession of the Kingdom of Sardinia. And finally, with the 1861 part of the Kingdom of Italy.

          In the late 19 th century the town became a favorite spot of wealthy aristocratic families of Britain and other countries of Northern Europe. The number of tourists is growing rapidly every year.  
As a result, tourism may almost completely displaces fishing industry, which for centuries there has been a major activity and source of income for local people.  
And since the mid 50-ies Portofino is known as a first-class spa center, on the coast which now rages lives - here a lot of cafes and restaurants serving tourists.  
In Portofino are several top class hotels, where the offer acceptable to the majority of tourists value for money. All hotels are in close proximity to the beach.

Money spent on an excursion, do not make for a recall, because the impressions that tourists will be taken away from here. Brown Castle also impresses with its grandeur and beauty. It was built in the 12th century, before it was used as a defense of the city and to accommodate the garrison. Now a museum, which offers fantastic views of the Mediterranean.  
It is worth visiting the church of St. Martin, built in the 12th century, and the Church of St. George, which still kept some of the valuable relics. Another monument of Portofino - chapel of St. Mary, made in the Gothic style.  
However, the most valuable thing Portofino offers its guests - this is a first class, complete rest. There is no need to hurry, the only thing it is only natural to engage in this heavenly place - just walking along the streets of the tiny town, luxuriate in one of the cleanest beaches and listen to the sound of the surf ...
