A pretty fishing village turned into a resort town, Camogli is a true gem of Ligurian coast. It is a part of Portofino Marine Protected Area. Once known as the "city of thousand white sails" for its fleet (and having 500 patented ship captains out of 12000 residents in 1880s), the town now lives mostly off tourism. Colourful buildings line a few streets over the beach and remind the times when vivid colours helped fishermen to return home. The town is also a home for a nationwide water polo team that won several Italian championships - so it's not a too big surprise that swimming pool is one of the most important recent buildings in Camogli.
