Tino is a small, rugged island located just beyond Palmaria, at the entrance to the Gulf of La Spezia. Steeped in history, it’s home to the ruins of a 7th-century monastery dedicated to San Venerio, the patron saint of Gulf sailors. Though access is restricted due to its status as a naval zone, from the boat you’ll enjoy stunning views of its wild cliffs, dense vegetation, and the historic lighthouse that still guides ships today.

Tinetto is the smallest of the three islands off the coast of Portovenere, but it holds great historical and natural value. This tiny rocky islet is home to the remains of an ancient monastic settlement dating back to the 6th century and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Palmaria and Tino. From the boat, you’ll see its dramatic rocks emerging from the sea, often surrounded by seabirds and bathed in clear, turquoise waters — a peaceful and striking final point along the Gulf of Poets.
