Camogli is a small but popular tourist town located on the west side of the peninsula of Portofino, on the Golfo Paradiso at the Riviera di Levante. The name means “house of wives” deriving from casa delle mogli.
One of the guide books suggested it was a small fishing village; this is definitely a misnomer. The town is small, but well touristed, being so close to Genoa, the harbour filled with prosperous pleasure craft. Once we managed to find a spot to park, a tricky business in Camogli, we happily joined in the busy evening passeggiata then read every menu along the lido, much to Mischa Bella’s hungry frustration.
Thanks to Ed, of Sunday Stills for his letter C prompt this week.
ALMOST ITALIAN 
Love Camogli, although I haven’t been for over 20 years. I remember the last time I was there, in Spring, they were having an enormous fish-fry to celebrate a festival and judging by the size of the frying pan – which was suspended on scaffolding – they would have fed the entire town.

That would have been a great festival to see and eat!

what a beautiful little town, though it’s amazing how close the buildings are to the water, it looks like a high tide would cover the doorsteps!
