The Italian Riviera is a narrow strip of land, enclosed between the sea and the Alps and the Apennines mountains; it is a winding arched extension from Ventimiglia to La Spezia and is one of the smallest regions in Italy (it's the surface area is of 5431 Km.).

It is limited in size, but not in the variety of its vegetation and wildlife which is amongst the most diversified and interesting in Italy. The coastline, which is geographically divided between the Western Italian Riviera and the Eastern Riviera at the sides of an important center of Genoa, from the scenic point of view is characterized by an alternating series of magnificent high coast-lines and flat sandy coastlines, whilst in the interior the steep hills meet up with the Apennines peaks.

Italian Riviera has an abundance of natural beauty and the various names given to it such as "Paradise Gulf", "Siren bay", "Bay of silence", "Bay of fairy tales", "Sea's echo" are all a testimony to the magnificent beauty of these marine landscapes. The host of hotels and seaside facilities ensure an unforgettable holiday to the tourists and, to the couples and their families and friends, a great stay for their Wedding In the Italian Riviera.

As an alternative to a morning spent on the beach, there is the possibility of taking a trip into the hills, that are within easy reach as they sweep right down to the coast. There are numerous small villages, as the famous Cinque Terre ( UNESCO world heritage site) which often boast ruined castles that bear testimony to former glories of noble families. They are strewn around the hinterland, and provide a peaceful authentic setting away from the crowds, amongst the friendly hard-working local people. This is one of the best areas for a fantastic Wedding in the Italian Riviera.

The ring of hills, lying immediately beyond the coast, together with the beneficial influx of the sea, accounts for the mild climate the whole year round with average winter temperatures of 7-10° and summer temperatures of 25-28°, which ensure a pleasant stay even in the heart of winter.
