You kick off beneath a patchwork of striped awnings and the echo of Vespas — Caruggi’s narrow alleys squeezing sunlight into bright ribbons on stone. An e-bike gives you the quiet push to climb quickly, letting you drift from shadowed medieval lanes to a seaside village where the Ligurian sea dares you to pause.

Ride in cooler parts of the day to avoid traffic and the midday heat, and to catch softer light for photos of the harbor.

Helps when mounting/dismounting and when walking on uneven stone.
