Top 15 things to do in Santa Margherita Ligure

Relax in the harbor among palm trees, and watch the fishing boats. Visit the restored 16th-century castle, the 17th-century Basilica of St. Margaret of Antiochia, and the Villa Durazzo complex. Pick up some local handicrafts from one of the many souvenir shops. Take a break from sightseeing at one of the terraced cafes.

Baia del Silenzio is part of an Italian village that buzzes with activity. The small beach is often full of people on warm days.
