We arrived in the seaside village of Noli on Monday afternoon. The narrow lanes, towers, and tall houses make this an interesting destination.


We learned that Christopher Columbus stopped in Noli on his way to Portugal! Today we walked to the hilltop castle for a great view of the harbor where Columbus might have landed.

We have a nice room at Villa Salvarezza. It’s spacious and reasonably-priced.

We watched the chefs at Restaurant L’Alice Innamarorata carefully create this large and delicious cheese board which was our appetizer before dinner last night. They used a variety of local cheeses with jams, honey, hazelnuts, pear, and more…it’s a work of art!

It was chilly and rainy last evening–this was the view from inside the city wall looking out towards the sea.

We’ll be here one more day before we move to our next stop Camogli.
