THE GULF OF DIANO

A shore of intense beauty, sandy beaches surrounded by a vegetation in between the exotic and the Mediterranean, palm trees, agaves, maritime pines, olive trees, citrus orchards, this is the Gulf of Diano, a large inlet between cape Berta and cape Cervo.

Diano Marina is its barycentre, with its hotel structures, the important bathing establishments and well patronized nightclubs.

The tourism vocation of Diano Marina was born with the rebuilding of the town after the 1887 earthquake that destroyed almost entirely the old seafaring village.

On the promenade, after crossing over Via Aurelia, the palace of the Parco houses the civic museum that holds pre-Roman and Roman findings, and Napoleon and Risorgimento relics, and the archaeological area that preserves the small church of Pale Christian origin, dedicated to Santi Nazario and Celso.

An appointment that cannot be missed at Diano Marina is the “Infiorata del Corpus Domini”, when the streets of the town are covered by fantastic and fragrant carpets of multicoloured flower petals.
