Ceriale outskirts
Ceriale, Liguria...
The Riviera Ligure situated between the blue sea and the green mountains is a rich region full of historical villages interesting to visit.
We are right in the middle of the “Whales’ Sanctuary” and a boat excursion of Whale watching is possible.
Not far from Ceriale there are many pleasant localities to be visited both on the coast and inland:
- Albenga km 4 With its characteristic towers and an antique historical centre.

- Garlenda km 15 With its 18 holes golf course.
- Isola Gallinara 1 km from the coast. You can reach it by boat leaving from Alassio or Loano harbour or from Albenga with a rubber dinghy. An island uncontaminated and with rich sea-beds.
