Sestri Levante is a town and comune located in the Metropolitan City of Genoa within the Liguria region of Italy. It is situated on a promontory along the Ligurian Sea, positioned approximately 40 km south-east of Genoa.
Originally a quiet fishing village, Sestri Levante has evolved into a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The town is characterized by its distinct layout, which features both an old town and a new town area. While nearby Portofino and the Cinque Terre are more widely recognized tourist destinations on the Italian Riviera, Sestri Levante remains a notable point of interest in the region.
