Spring is one of the best times of year to visit Liguria with the countryside full of colour before the heat of summer and the arrival of large numbers of tourists in the high season. Temperatures are very pleasant making this the ideal season for those holidaymakers who wish to visit the many sights in the region.
Why not take advantage of the Whitsun break to spend a few days on the "Riviera of Flowers"? This coastal strip is so called because of the amazing range of plants that cover the landscape in bloom. Surrounded by the enchanting aroma of flowers and the sea and bathed in the warm Italian sunshine, this is a great opportunity to recharge your batteries.
What's more, you can always extend your stay by a few days. That way, you won't miss the unique flower festivals held across Liguria as part of the Corpus Christi celebrations when the squares and streets of the town centres are covered in a "sea of flowers".
Alternatively, you might like to take a short, one-and-a-half hour trip across the border to Cannes, where the stars and starlets of the film world come together during the famous international film festivals, most of which are held in the Whitsun period. For the latest dates, click "Events".
As you can see, there are some great reasons to visit Liguria, especially at Whitsun. With this in mind, we have put together a selection of holiday apartments, houses, villas and other rentals to help you spend an unforgettable break in Liguria.
