Beautiful and old Church... The atmosphere was great. You can experience the sunset, the sea wind, the mountains, in general the nature. I recommend wearing good shoes and comfortable clothes.
Absolutely fabulous and I loved it. I would consider a stay in portovenere if I were you it's beautiful
I couldn't visit it But just seeing the church from the sea gives me an idea of how beautiful it is and what work it brought to the people who lived here.
Schöne kleine Kirche, von der aus man einen tollen Blick übers Meer hat. Leider konnte das Innere an dem Tag nicht besichtigt werden.
Ein magischer Ort... 😍 Muss man unbedingt besuchen, wenn man in der Gegend ist.
Wir sind von La Spezia mit dem Schiff hin gefahren. Auch der Ort selbst (Portovenere) ist einen Besuch wert.

So cool to visit a church built in the 4th century. That would have been just after Constantine stopped the persecution of the Christians. It is not an operational church though. Wear good shoes with good grips. The stairs leading to the church are made of stone and years of wear have made them slippery. You will also see some great views from up there. Check out the grotto to the right of it where people go swimming. If you like adventure, you might want to take a dip there too!
Beautiful views. A little steep but worth the view. Make sure you wear good shoes due to the cobblestones. There are also quite a few steps which made me feel a little dizzy. But it was a lovely walk - a bit like a maze
Ein wunderschöner Ort, den es sich definitiv zu besuchen lohnt! Die kleine Kapelle fügt sich hervorragend in die Umgebung aus Steilküste und Meer ein, es sieht aus, wie in einem Märchen. Traumhaft schön und nicht überlaufen (jedenfalls nicht Ende September). Dieser Ort ist definitiv einen Besuch wert! Wunderschön!
