Landscapes of Liguria, perhaps, are one of the most picturesque in Italy. Here fashionable resorts alternate with tiny picturesque villages, inaccessible cliffs with quiet coves, orange and olive groves with thickets of fragrant magnolias and oleanders. Liguria - a favorite vacation spot for Hollywood stars and top models, crowned individuals and famous politicians. Riviera di Ponente is the western part of Liguria. Its most famous resorts are Alassio, San Remo and Bordighera, where in the XIX century the European aristocracy, including the Russian one, came to visit. A unique charm to the resorts is given by the proximity of Monte Carlo and Nice. Practically near each resort there is a railway station and a tourist port, from where on a boat you can take a ride along the coast. The coastal Alps and the warm waters of the Ligurian Sea create a special microclimate that attracts tourists here all year round.
