Transfer and Taxi in Portovenere

Portovenere is located on the shore of the Ligurian Sea. Every year, the "Byron swims" are held there, with up to 300 swimmers participating. They are organized in memory of the famous poet Lord Byron. According to legend, the poet chose a rather original way of traveling. How to get to Portovenere from Lerici? Byron simply swam across the Bay of Poets (named after him and his friend Percy Bysshe Shelley, the author of “Frankenstein”). And it's a distance of ten kilometers! Some still swim across the bay, and some even go back and forth! 

 But you can also use more common ways to reach the town! For example, order a taxi or transfer to Portovenere.

How to Get to Portovenere 

Portovenere is most conveniently reached from nearby towns in Liguria. For example, from La Spezia or Monterosso. You can fly directly to Milan or Genoa, then transfer to a train to towns close to Portovenere (trains do not go directly to Portovenere), and then use a bus, boat, or car. 

 This is quite a long and not very convenient route with transfers, queues, and tickets. It can be quite tiring to undertake this journey after a flight.

Taxi in Portovenere 

The cost of a taxi from the airport to Portovenere will be very high even by Italian standards. Taxis in Italy are not only among the most expensive in Europe but also some of the most expensive in the world. 

There is also the possibility that you might come across an inexperienced driver, and it is a fairly long drive (about 235 km from Milan, 114 km from Genoa). The trip may not be safe. 

Not as intimidating as lack of experience, but still not always acceptable might be that if the driver sees that you understand a bit of Italian, during the journey, you will learn all the details of his life, as well as the lives of his relatives and neighbors. Agree, there is not always a desire for this after a flight.
