A sea that is known and appreciated for the light blue vast expanse of the limpid clean water and for the quality of the tourist facilities; a sea that borders on the land where the transparence of the water draw crystalline reflections in the magic meeting of the two bays: Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole. The former looks at Punta Marinara´s rocky spur and the latter looks at Golfo del Tigullio. Sestri Levante is the place where the sun enlightens golden sandy shores that are framed by the amphitheater of the mounts where you can enjoy the half-light of the olive tree grove and of the Sestri´s deep pinewoods. Sestri Levante is a famous holiday resort with two beautiful shores: Baia delle Favole (from St. Anna to the west) and Baia del Silenzio (called by the local poet Giovanni Descalzo) that links the isthmus to the promontory. Thanks to the clearness of the water, the natural setting and the colourful presence of the houses, Baia del Silenzio was one of the most favourite places of Sestri´s great guests like Lord Byron, Goethe, Wagner, Hans Christian Handersen ed Ernest Hemingway.
