Rio Marina Guide

What is there to do in Rio Marina?

Red dirt hosting high-rising hotels – the landscape engulfing Rio Marina is like no other around the Mediterranean. The contrast of jagged rock formations, imposing cliffs and steep mountainside next to colourful buildings and verdant foliage has prompted the growth of tourism to the extent that it has become one of the most visited holiday destinations belonging to Western Italy. The primary reason for the rapid rise in visitors is the beaches that decorate the coastline; Cavo Beach and Topinetti Beach are usually an oasis of calm in the quieter months, yet can become relatively crowded come summer when the weather lends itself to an afternoon in the sun. The hotels, beaches and sumptuous food may bring much of the appeal, however, after exploring the unique environment, it’s the mining and naval history which maintains the interest. The rich history of Rio Marina is symbolised in the caves and crevices, defining the land and its proud past. A whole day can be spent perusing the sights and adventuring across the hillside; the views from the apex of the landscape are perfect for a romantic stroll in the pleasant evening temperature.
