Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy might be one of the biggest towns in the Ligure region and one of its biggest tourist drawers, but it still manages to retain its old world charm. The waterfront is a must-see while in the area. Get up early and head over to the harbor, so you can see the fishermen unloading what they are able to catch for the day. The beaches and historic monuments are also worth visiting. Italy is a place that is known for its food and Santa Margherita Ligure is just the place to find authentic Italian food like at Angolo 48. Another restaurant called Skipper can be found at the marina and is considered a floating restaurant. There are lots of things to see and do in town, so be sure to check into one of these Airbnbs in Santa Margherita Ligure if you want to enjoy an authentic Italian experience.
