Italy View over the sea, Celle Ligure

Celle Ligure, a charming coastal town in the Liguria region of northwest Italy. This picturesque spot is known for its dramatic seascapes, rugged cliffs, and the interplay of light and shadow that make it a favorite among photographers.

Use a wide-angle lens to capture the vast sea and sky, and shoot during golden or blue hours for the best light. Long exposures with a tripod can create smooth water and dynamic clouds. Focus on strong contrasts to emphasize stormy skies, and include interesting foreground elements for depth. A polarizing filter helps reduce glare and enhance colors. Stay alert to changing weather to catch fleeting moments, and look for reflections on wet surfaces after rain. Black and white photography works well to highlight the drama of the scene. Always prioritize your safety near slippery rocks and rough seas.

Celle Ligure is easily reachable by train from major Italian cities like Genoa and Milan, with regular regional trains stopping at the local station. By car, it’s about a 40-minute drive west of Genoa along the A10 motorway. The town is also accessible via local buses and is just a short walk from the train station to the coast.
