Portofino is an ancient fishing village founded by the Romans, who called it "Portus Delphini" due to the many dolphins living in the bay. If you have never been to Portofino, you probably have never seen a sea colour of such a pure, dark emerald green. Maybe it's the surrounding vegetation that, hanging from the hills enclosing the small bay almost to touch and caress the sea, gives the water that colour. Or maybe it's the depth of the cliffs under the water that contributes to the games that the sunlight plays with the sea. It is built around a small natural port at the head of an inlet in the Bay of Tigullio, that has preserved its traditional character.The sea around the promontory is of great importance for preserving the Mediterranean's biodiversity, and it contains a large variety of species in a small area. Portofino's natural heritage has largely remained intact. This is one of the major areas of protected coastline in Liguria and it offers some of the best trekking in Italy. A lot of Vips decided to choose Portofino as their luxury destination wedding.
