Moving around by ferry
The ferry with boarding on the Passeggiata Morin (2.8 km from the apartment, directions) is the most convenient way to reach Lerici, Portovenere and Palmaria island, especially in the summer. During the trip on the ferry you can admire the enchanting panorama of the Gulf of La Spezia from a unique perspective. An experience not to be missed!
The service is run by the Consorzio Marittimo 5 Terre, which also offers connections to the Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso) and Levanto.
Timetables and price lists can be found at Navigazione Golfo dei Poeti.
To reach the Cinque Terre by ferry from La Spezia, there is usually a stopover in Portovenere.
In addition to the routes to the Cinque Terre, the Maritime Consortium offers other routes, which are shown on the map:
