In the area you will find beach, sea, marinas, picturesque villages, hills, ancient hamlets (medieval villages), olive groves, an extensive cycling and walking path right on the sea, various hiking trails in the hills, fashionable cities, etc. Of course everything is accessible by car, but there is a bus stop near our house. A few times an hour the bus stops here in the direction of San Remo (west) or Imperia (east). The walking and cycling boulevard is one of the biggest attractions. Bicycles can be rented everywhere in the area for young and old. You can reach San Remo in 45 minutes by bike. You pass idyllic beaches, small villages and nice bars. In the evening there is plenty of strolling. Bussana Vecchia is an artists' village and was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1887. The survivors wanted nothing more to do with the village because it was said to be “haunted” and left it to its fate. In the 1960s, the first foreign artists arrived and gradually breathed new life into the village. Now it is a cozy village with various shops with handmade items, art and restaurants and well worth a visit! About a 20-minute drive from our house is the fashionable seaside resort of San Remo, known for its Casino and luxurious shopping streets. At the beginning of the last century, many celebrities came here because of the mild climate (Empress Sissy, Russian tsars, Alfred Nobel, etc). The old part of San Remo is also very much worth a visit. From the harbor you can take an excursion by boat to see dolphins and whales! Imperia was created from two cities: Oneglia and Porto Maurizio. It still has two distinct atmospheres: Porto Maurizio is characterized by winding streets that lead to the cathedral at the top of the town. Oneglia is modern and has a large shopping center and a beautiful old harbor with luxury yachts. Do not forget to visit the olive museum. A nice trip inland goes to the "witch village" Triora, which is peacefully located high in the mountains. Legend has it that witches lived here who were banished and forced to live in the houses on the outskirts of the village. The place where the funeral pyre would have been can still be visited. Curious fact… the houses on the village are still uninhabited… Monaco and Nice are a stone's throw from the Italian border. The pleasant center of Nice has numerous shops. Monaco is fascinating because of the contrast of high apartment buildings with the old atmospheric center with the palace, which is located on a hill overlooking the bay of Monaco. The Ferraris flash past you! Albenga and Ceriale are typical Italian seaside resorts with a long boulevard where at sunset both the young people stroll and the older people come together for a chat. There is also a large water park near Ceriale: 'Le Caravelle'. The nearest sandy beach is in San Lorenzo al Mare, east of our house. A pleasant village about twenty minutes walk away. After about 100 meters along the Aurelia (the coastal road) you will find the entrance to a beautiful walking path right by the sea. Along the way you pass several rocky and stone beaches (popular with the Italians) where there is plenty of swimming and snorkeling. West of our house is San Stefano al Mare. A lively seaside resort with a large boulevard and many shops and restaurants. In the summer months, the beaches are crowded and there are various performances and activities.
