The territory and the climate
  The territory and the climate

Liguria is a fascinating and very Italian region, where the colours of the sea mix with those of the Mediterranean vegetation, benefits from a luxuriant nature and a spring-like climate. The territory, of 5500 square kilometres, is a narrow stretch of land occupying the upper western coast of Italy between the Ligurian Sea and the meeting-point of the Alps and Apennines. There are 315 kilometres of coast in the Ligurian Gulf; two-thirds of the hinterland is occupied by mountains that exceed an altitude of one thousand metres, while the rest is made up of hills.The vegetation is extremely varied and has many endemic forms that are well protected in the parks and numerous nature reserves throughout the region.Its beaches and coastal rocks are world-famous. Besides the internationally famous tourist resorts, there are many little-known ones that are really worth visiting.With this wide geographical variety, Liguria is a land that you need to take your time to enjoy. Although the hinterland is less well-known, the limited space conceded by a mountain area that almost stretches right down to the sea is a place of great interest that holds some true natural and cultural treasures.The Liguria enjoys a typically mild and pleasant Mediterranean climate, with annual minimum and maximum temperatures differing by about 15 degrees, average winter temperatures of 10 degrees and summer periods freshened by the sea breezes with an average temperature of 25 degrees. It was because of its particularly mild climate that Liguria became the most popular Italian holiday resort with European tourists in the mid-nineteenth century. The region has excellent rail and motorway links since it is an integral part of the communications network connecting northern Italy with central Italy and Italy with Europe. However, drivers who are not in a hurry will find the less busy trunk and provincial roads an interesting alternative to the motorways, for these can offer you some fine panoramic views as well as the chance to get to know the territory by following less traditional itineraries.Just few regions, like ‘Liguria’, allow to arrive in less than one hour from the coast to the mountains, covered with snow during winter and to the hills with its many paths.Land of colours and of the blue of the sea, traditionally cradle of the dreams of marines and merchants, millions of tourists feel a fatal attraction for this ‘Riviera of the Flowers’ and come back year after year, to the most renowned seaside resorts, famous for their worldliness.
