Advantages: Loveley town, and beach, nice atmosphere. Disadvantages: None
...really have wonderful memories of Diano Marina, on the Italian Riviera. It is set in a wide bay with sandy beaches. It has a palm fringed promenade, and quite an elegant atmosphere, there are plenty of shops and lots of pavement cafe's and restaurants when you need to stop for a break or to watch the world go by. It has an old town, with a weekly market, beautiful church and narrow cobbled streets. The locals were very hospitable, and very helpful ... ...we used them. Diano Marina is close to the French Riviera, so if you fancy a trip to Nice or Monaco, you can hop on the bus, or the train. The trains are very frequent and pretty cheap too. If you do go to these places, allow a FULL day, as there is a lot to see and do :-) Not all of the eating places are expensive either, so don't think you have to break the bank to eat out.
We went to Nice, such an interesting place, the public buildings are very ...

However, we were here and we were going to make the most of it – regardless of the hotness or ... ...hour trip by coach to Diano Marina. The journey between Nice and Diano Marina is nothing if not spectacular. It truly is the most awe inspiring views I have ever seen (but then I am not a seasoned traveller). The motorway (auto strata) on which you travel to Diano Marina is several hundred feet high and despite my fear of heights, I just couldn’t get enough of the mountainous coastal scenes.
Diano Marina itself is a relatively small town with a ...

Advantages: Old past Disadvantages: Not the best sea resort in Italy
...aware of the fact that Diano Marina has got a very old past.
Pre-historic remains have been found to confirm that Diano was a major "village" well before the Romans.
The current name comes from the Roman period, when they introduced the cult of "Diana" the Goddess of hunters.
The legend goes that you could hunt, amongst others, the brown bear.
Later on, Diano was many times invaded by the pirats, you can still visit the remains of the observation ... ...Today Diano Marina is very popular with tourists, particularly in summer.
Although I would not recoomend it as a place to spend your holidays in Italy, if it is the first time you visit the country, still, Diano Marina is a pleasant place, also out of the tourist season. ...
