Perched on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia, Tellaro enchants visitors with its labyrinth of narrow streets, pastel houses, and stunning sea views. The village is famous for the legend of an octopus that supposedly rang the church bells to warn of a pirate attack. Today, visitors can wander the car-free lanes, visit the small harbor, and enjoy fresh seafood at local trattorias. Tellaro's remote charm and unspoiled character make it a highlight of the Ligurian coast.
