Wonderful Towns In Europe Overlooking The Sea

We dress with sailor airs and we travel Europe looking for incredible coastal towns. These towns face the sea, but not only that, but each one of them has something that makes it special. Join us on one of the most beautiful tours you can imagine.

1. Towns that look out to sea: Cudillero, Asturias, Spain

Their houses face the sea or hide, depending on how you look at it. This beautiful and colorful town on the Asturian coast goes down the mountainside towards the water, but it does so in the shape of a cove, so that yours is a “collected” image. A town that stands out for the beauty of its location, the color of its houses and its delicious cuisine.

2. Manarola, Italy

In the unforgettable Italian Cinque Terre we find this wonderful village. Perched on a rocky headland, Manarola appears to challenge the sea from it. “A hive on the rock, a seagull’s nest high above the waves, a town where the slight whisper of the waves caresses the attentive ears of the soul”, as described by the poet Lino Crovara. Little more can be said.

3. Positano, Italy

We are not leaving Italy, but we are going down to the Amalfi coast, where Positano looks out to sea with its terraces, its colorful houses and its tile domes. One of the most beautiful places on the Italian coast, from where the views, no matter where you look, are spectacular.

4. Éze, France

The Mediterranean does not reach its base, but this beautiful medieval town offers incredible views. A town located in the heart of the Côte d’Azur and with a medieval soul. Getting lost in its streets is pure magic and waiting for sunset to watch the sun fall on the coast is priceless. And is that Éze was built on a rock 400 meters high.

5. Bonifacio, Corsica, France

Yours is a truly privileged situation. Bonifacio’s houses overlook the sea from a beautiful white limestone cliff. Houses that are practically on the edge, offering one of the most beautiful images of this Mediterranean island. In addition, here you can visit an entire medieval framework, since in Bonifacio remains of several fortifications are still preserved.

6. Oia, Greece

The Santorini archipelago is a small paradise and one of its most recognizable images is that of Oia, with its white houses and blue roofs that rise above the cliff. An ideal place to get lost in its narrow streets and to contemplate an unforgettable image of the sunset. And it is that his is one of the most famous and romantic sunsets on the planet.

7. Carvoeiro, Portugal

The coast of the Portuguese Algarve hides little gems like this fishing village, which glides gently from a small promontory to the very line of the beach. One of those perfect places to get lost for a few days and forget about everything because it is not only beautiful, but it is eaten divine.

8. Rovinj, Croatia

The Croatian coast hides beautiful villages that also face the sea, and one of the most charming, although unknown, is Rovinj. A picturesque town of cobbled streets and colorful houses, some of them practically built on the waters of the Adriatic.

9. Fjällbacka, Sweden

Quiet and welcoming, this small town has become famous not because of its beauty, which it has, but because the writer Camilla Läckberg was born there and where she has set her novels. In any case, its fishermen’s houses, its narrow streets and its atmosphere make it a really beautiful town.

10. Calella de Palafrugell, Girona, Spain

A beautiful and charming town where you can still see the fishing boats on its beach. One of those places that look out to the sea almost timidly, but whose image inevitably falls in love with. Its narrow streets, its fishermen’s houses and the sound of the Mediterranean , a song that Joan Manuel Serrat wrote here in part, will accompany your walk.
