Strong reminders of the port city of Ermoupoli on the Cyclades island of Syros- a similarly underrated, once massively wealthy port city (40% of Greece's GDP in its 1870s heyday) and best of all hardly visited.
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. I’m saving it for a trip I should plan soon. It was one of the options for my birthday, but I don’t like being by the sea in early April, always too windy.
Thank you, you'll love it!! And it was quite windy even in May but should be lovely in the next few months. Also the seaside towns — I loved Nervi and you can hop on Genova's local buses to arrive. The best €2 day trip!
I was just in Genova and agree 100%! Those little day trips sure are special. I love walking the promenade to get to Boccadasse & entering down that steep narrow walkway. It gets me every time.
I’ve only been to Genoa on short trips, but it is one of my favorite cities in Italy, thanks for the nice photos too!
It’s such a surprising place!! Thank you :)

Thanks for your comment!! I'm putting Ermoupoli on my list right away, it sounds right up my alley :)
