Lerici

A small seaside town, founded by Pisans around 1200, Lerici today is a
tourist resort also known for its natural beauty and its central location.
From here one can reach by boat the
Cinque
Terre,
Portovenere, the bathing stations
of the
Versilia, and all the other
picturesque locations along this stretch of coast.
From the Mediaeval Castle, that dominates the port of
Lerici, you have a magnificent view of all of the
Gulf
of Poets and of the nearby
Apuan
Alps.
