Calata Molo Vecchio, 15

"Boats to paradise Board a boat in the bustling harbor of Porto Antico for a day of whale watching, or a quick trip up the Ligurian coast to the tiny enclave of San Fruttoso, an abandoned Monastery standing guard over the sunken statue of Christ of the Abyss. Bring your scuba gear for spectacular views of this hidden abbey, completely cut off from the world except for a steep mountain side hike or a ferry from the dock of a neighboring village."
