 BALZI  Ventimiglia                       the route are at Ven ti  miglia, Sanremo,
 ROSSI  VILLA HANBURY                     Imperia, Savona, Genoa and La Spezia.
                                          There are good road and rail links
                                          between Genoa and Milan and Turin.
                                          Access to inland Liguria is harder
                                          because of the mountains. Bus services
                                          link many of the coastal towns with
                                          the prettiest hill villages. You can
                                          explore some of the countryside by car
                                          by following the smaller routes, such as
                                          the S28 from Imperia towards Garessio
                                          in Piedmont, the S334 from Albisola or
                                          the S456 from Voltri towards Milan.
