Abbazia di San Fruttuoso, Camogli, Liguria, Italy April 1, 2017 559

            San Fruttuoso - also known as San Fruttuoso di Camogli - is neither port nor resort. Not much more than an indentation along a mountainous coastline, accessible only from the sea or on foot. But it has two powerful attractions. One is an ancient Benedictine monastery and the other the Christ of the Abyss. The monastery is a lovely stone building with a small dome, which straddles the beach. Parts are medieval, some Romanesque, and the burial vaults of the aristocratic Doria family of Genoa are here. Until nature decided to throw up a beach in quite recent times, boats moored directly under the supporting arches of the monastery and could unload directly into the cellars. You can still walk beneath these arches and find the odd boat or two resting on the stones out of the weather. There is some exploring to do at San Fruttuoso, but the main monastery building and the sixteenth-century watch tower a short walk away (combined ticket for a few euros) are not always open: local information offices can supply the details.

There's no road. The nearest official parking is over an hour away at Portofino Vetta (which is not the same place as Portofino but nearer Camogli). From there the signposted walk to San Fruttuoso is fairly level and easy to begin with - as far as the path junction of Pietre Strette - but then falls sharply in zig-zags and steps down an old mule path in order to deal with a 1500-foot (450m) descent to sea level. It takes more time, nearer two hours, to make the uphill journey back. Alternatively, a powerful walker could use one or other of the even longer signposted routes from Camogli, Santa Margherita or Portofino.
In summer there are well-advertised boat trips, several times a day (hourly in midsummer), from Camogli to San Fruttuoso, and others from Portofino and Santa Margherita. A less reliable service runs daily from Camogli out of season too, but you shouldn't expect to find very much in terms of tourist facilities at that time of year.
