Isola Gallinara Small Harbour

This tiny harbour sits beside Isola Gallinara, a small uninhabited private island in the Ligurian Sea shaped like a turtle, just off the coast of Albenga. It's one of those rare spots that feels genuinely remote despite being close to the Riviera, with the island's nature reserve status keeping it refreshingly untouched. You're anchoring in clear waters with the rocky, green-covered island as your backdrop — there's nothing built up or busy about it, which is exactly the point.
