Chiavari Travel Blogs

I spent 2 weeks in Chiavari to study Italian. It is a lovely and very clean little town in Liguria. In the old part of town are many arcades where you can walk around and enjoy the small shops. Plenty of traditional Ligurian restaurants all around the town. I enjoyed my stay very much, did some trips to Sestri Levante & Genoa. Beautiful area! Portofino is around the corner! Big thank you to Anna & her family to make me feel like home! And my Italian - hmmm, well, we will not talk about it! ;-))

Summer 2001

A real surprise, this well to do town. A lot of nice shops, bars and restaurants. The churches are big and ornamented, and there is a great botanical garden. Every Sunday afternoon locals go for a passeggiata, a walk through town dressed to kill. Under the “portici” every few weeks there…

In the summer of 2008, my girlfriend and I made a road trip through four countries in central Europe. We saw a lot of big cities, smaller places and great nature. After 3 weeks we can look back at a great vacation!
