Portofino, Italy

Tucked into a rocky coastline, dotted with brightly painted boats and crowned with a hillside of richly colored buildings, Portofino is a picture-perfect harbor. Passengers typically are dropped off at the waterfront's cobblestone square with the sidewalk cafes and choice boutiques just steps away. Hillside climbs reward visitors with magnificent views, and a hidden staircase behind the Church of San Giorgio leads to a splendid castle.
