Punta Crena — Sentiero della Sciura
Liguria
Punta Crena is the rocky headland south of Varigotti — a limestone cape with ancient olive terraces maintained since Ligurian tribal times and a Byzantine watchtower. The cliff walk above the sea passes caves used by fishermen for centuries. The water below the cape is among the clearest on the Ligurian coast — visible to 15 m in calm conditions.
