April of Light, Flavours and Discoveries

Spring has finally arrived, and Portopiccolo is glowing once again. Fiery sunsets over the sea, elegant boats moored along the docks, relaxed aperitifs and long dinners with friends. All framed by the dramatic cliffs and the peaceful Karst landscape. This is the perfect moment to enjoy the beauty around us and take part in unforgettable experiences just steps from home. Here’s what not to miss this April:
