In Chiavari, "Capitol City" of Tigullio Gulf, you are not coming only for the wonderful sea. Best seat of Riviera, Chiavari, is proud of its beautiful art nouveau palaces, crowned by the lush green of the botanical gardens of Palazzo Rocca.
The city is well-known for its fascinating alleys and streets, known as "caruggi". These are flanked by porticoes of fashionable boutiques and shops that sell the wares of artisans that still today produce native items that have long since been forgotten.
One must also mention the gastronomical delights in Chiavari and its innerlands, from fashionable restaurants to some characteristic called farinotti (very small typical restaurants), where to taste famous Focaccia and all the typically food and delicatessen.
