At Genoa we turned South.

Leaving Genoa behind.

The mountains inland of Cogoleto

Looking toward Savonal. The yacht harbour is at the Western end of a long, industrial harbour.
-
Samoan has a fine fort, with excellent visitor arrangements and a great view into the Med.

And down the port peninsula

The view from the fort into Savona
Motor again, towards Savona, which is visible in the distance for many miles. The port extends down both sides of a long inlet, with the town at the head. Initially not that attractive (although interesting) we pass through a lifting bridge at the entry to the yacht harbour into an attractive and cramped marina. The nearby parts of town are nothing special although we do find a great spot on the site of an old slipway for dinner.
In the morning we walk further into town, and to the old fort looking out to sea. The fort is now the site of an archeological museum. The museum is interesting and the buildings extensive.
