Camogli

I went to Camogli again this October. One of my very favorite places...

Camogli

In 1992 I saw a documentary of Camogli and decided to take my family there. Later that year, we watched the fishermen mending their nets, gazed in awe at the trompe d'oeil and I made a secret vow to return there one day.

Well, it took me a while. My next visit was during my Enchanted April trip of 2005. I was a bit more fortunate with the 2006 trip, as I managed to stay there overnight before heading to Santa Margherita. I made an afternoon visit to Camogli from there and looked in some art galleries, watched more fishermen with their nets and sat for ages gazing at the fishing boats, the delectable painted houses and listened to the church bells peal.

Now this is a view!

Hotel Casmona, Camogli

A popular place to stay is at the Hotel Casmona, in Camogli. The hotel is easily found in pictures on the Internet as it has huge pine trees in front of it. When you are looking at photgraphs taken along the esplanade, the hotel is on the beach front, over to the right. Here are some photographs taken in the late afternoon from my room. This was at the beginning of November, 2006.
