After two nights we left Genoa and sailed down to St. Margherita.  I am pleased to say the girls loved the area. They were able to swim in the bay from Ariel whenever they wished and sunbathe as the weather was just sun from morning to night.  They loved the very expensive shops and the beautiful church and the Durro Villa and grounds overlooking the bay.  We were treated to music from the beach area each night.

The village takes its name from either Santa Margherita d’Antiochio whose remains are contented in the castle of the same name or from the white flowering bush, the Margherita which can be seen everywhere.
