Genova,San Fruttuoso,Fortofino,Santa Margaritha-Italy

Perjalanan Dari Nice-Ville(train station),France ke Genova-Italy mengambil  masa lebih kurang 4jam 34minit dengan harga tiket euro19.30 sehala.Empat jam lebih aku duduk dlm train yang tak ada air-condition,huh......meruap!Namun begitu,sepanjang  perjalanan dihiasi dengan keindahan pantai dan Pemandangan yang sangat indah.Jika korang duduk di sebelah kanan,korang akan dihiasi dengan keindahan Pantai sepanjang perjalanan,manakala sebelah kiri pula,kehijauan,perumahan dan bukit bukau.
Aku berada di Genova selama 3hari 2malam,dimana hari pertama disini,aku menghabiskan masa melihat keindahan kota lama ini.4jam disini sudah memadai.Memang tak rugi singgah disini.Kotanza bukan sahaja cantik dan unik tetapi juga penduduknya amat ramah.Makanan dan minuman juga amat murah jadi kakijalan macam aku ni masih boleh savebudget untuk perjalanan seterusnya.

Hari kedua Di Genova-aku Mengambil bot ke San Fruttuoso dan seterusnya Fortofino dengan
harga tiket €20.00 (return).
Perjalanan dari Genova ke San Fruttuoso mengambil masa hanya 1 jam.Aku bertolak pada jam 10 pagi dari Genova ferry station.Beberapa minit sebelum sampai,aku snap beberapa gambar dari atas ferry,inilah peluang nak dapat view lebih cantik.Disini Aku habiskan masa hanya 3 jam,memandangkan pulaunya kecil jadi aku tidak berada lama.Seterusnya aku mengambil ferry  ke Fortofino.

Fortofino......,menurut Plinky the Elder,perkampung ditepi pantai ini ditemui oleh keturunan Roman dan dinamakan sebagaiPortus Delfini kerana ia dihuni sejumlah besar Dolfin.

Pada tahun 1950,popularitinya melonjak naik apabila Leo Chiosso menulis sebuah lirik zang bertajuk LOVO IN FORTOFINO dan lagunya didendangkan but pertama kali oleh Fred Burcaglione pada mei.1958.

Walaupun pulaunya kecil tapi sangatlah cantik.Bangunannya juga berwarna warni seperti di Genova.Keindahan Fortofino terserlah dengan dihiasa dengan pemandangan yang cantik dan deretan Yatchs yang diparking sekitar pulau.

Walaupun panas yang sangat terik ketika ini,namun ia tidak mematahkan semangat aku untuk teruskan lawatan di sini.Deretan restaurants dan butiks juga terdapat di sini dengan barangan-barangan yang berquality.

disini juga korang berpeluang melihat kapal2 dan yatchs,shopping barangan berjenama seperti lv,maxmara,dior,Dolce Gabbana dan beberapa jenama lain.Makanan dan minuman disini agak mahal teapi masih memadai.

Di Fortofino,aku menghabiskan masa selama 4jam dan mengambil ferry ke Santa Margarita.Sebenarnya aku terlepas  ferry terakhir untuk pulang ke Genova,jadi aku ke information center untuk dapatkan jadual ferry seterusnya,malangnya ferry terakhir ke Genova sudah terlepas jadi aku dinasihatkan mengambil ferry ke Santa Margarita  dan seterusnya train ke Genova.

Genova, San Fruttuoso, Fortofino, Santa Margaritha-Italy

The journey from Nice-Ville (train station), France to Genova-Italy takes about 4 hours and 34 minutes with the ticket cost €19.30 on-way. 4 hours plus I sit on the train with no air-conditioner, huh bloody hot! But the whole journey, I could see the beautiful beaches and amazing scenery - if you seat on the right hand side. Meanwhile if you seat on the left hand side, you will see green, houses and hills. I was in Genova for 3 days 2 nights. My first day was spending time looking at this beautiful vintage old city. 4 hours was enough for me to do the tour. I’m telling you, it is all worth it if you visit this city. It is not only beautiful and unique but the villagers are very friendly. The food and beverages also consider cheap so traveler like me can save budget haha.

Day two in Genova, I take a boat to San Fruttuoso and next to Fortofino with the ticket price €20 (return).

The journey from Genova to San Fruttuoso takes about 1 hour. I make my move at 10am from Genova ferry station. Few minutes before I arrive, I snap some photos on the ferry because this is the time to get the beautiful scenery here. I spend about 3 hours as the island is quite small so the journey it is not that long though. Next I take the ferry to Fortofino.

Fortofino…..according to Plink the Elder, the village was found by the Roman descent and they called it as Portus Delfini because it is inhabited by a large number of Dolphins.

In 1950’s, the popularity is increased as Leo Chiosso wrote a lyric about Lovo In Fortofino and that song was dedicated for the firs time by Fred Burcaglione on May 1958. Although the island is small but it is extremely beautiful! The building is colorful just like in Genova. The beauty of Fortofino shined with hundreds of beautiful yachts parking around the island.

Although it is super hot at this time, but it does not discourage me to continue to do the tour here. A row of restaurants and boutiques here are very high quality and tip top. Here you can also get the chance to see the boats and yachts. Oh not to forget, shopping! The expensive shop brand such as Dior, Dolce Gabbana, LV, Maxmara and many more are also there! The food is a bit expensive but its’ okay  as I could still afford it.

In Fortofino, I spend there about 4 hours and take the ferry to Santa Margarita. Actually I missed the last ferry to go back to Genova so I straight go to the information center to get the ferry schedule and the staff advises me to take the ferry to Santa Margarita and then take train to Genova.
