Levanto is an attractive town located in the Italian province of La Spezia. Thanks to its small size, it provides both residents and visiting tourists with the opportunity to relax peacefully. Not everyone knows that the town is famous for the strongest waves in Italy, which means that sometimes it is not so quiet here. Levanto is located approximately 60 km from Genoa, while the provincial capital, La Spezia, is approximately 20 km away. It has a nice, extensive bay, partially protected on the south side. Ironically, the tongue of land, which serves as a shield against sea wind attacks, is also the cause of strong waves, sometimes 3-4 meters high. They form mainly in the central part of the bay's waters - its heart. Angry waves are a tasty morsel for daredevils who come here to face the elements and, like a wild horse, try to tame one of them using a surfboard or a sail. When the strongest waves are formed, surfers come to Levanto from all over Europe. Many people planning to spend an active camping holiday in Italy consider this part of the Ligurian coast also because the water here is warm and very clean. We cannot forget about the advantages on land. Levanto boasts a long, sandy beach and lots of greenery - the surrounding areas are densely covered with olive and pine trees.
