Italy Quinto al Mare - Genova
Continuing along the road after Nervi, you can take shots like this one, which is located in Genova Quinto, just after the Porticciolo di Nervi.
Carved directly into the rugged cliffs, this stunning walkway stretches for over 2 kilometers, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea.
This spot was made on the rocks just before the small port. You can easily go down via a ladder and it is easy to put the tripod and the equipment.

Photography Tips
Here too, like Nervi, the same thing applies, it is basically a continuation of the Nervi walk, and you can find some interesting views.
The entire walk allows you to manage yourself on different points of view, I recommend using a wide angle, but it is possible to find fantastic spots even with medium or telephoto lenses.
