What should I pack when moving to Portofino?
We asked people living in Portofino to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Portofino, you should pack a variety of clothing options to accommodate the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier, layered clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as the town is best explored on foot. You should also pack a swimsuit and beachwear, as Portofino is known for its beautiful beaches. A sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also essential to protect yourself from the sun. If you plan on dining out or attending any events, pack some smart casual clothes as Italians are known for their stylish dress sense. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, although these can also be purchased there. Bring any prescription medication you need, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the plugs in Italy may be different from your home country. Don't forget to bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. Lastly, consider packing a phrasebook or dictionary to help with the Italian language, and a guidebook to help you explore your new home," said a member in Portofino, Italy.
