A great factor to increasing tourism was the renovation of the port of Marina, in 2009, the restoration done in an elegant white stone “dell’lungomare of old” (as it was formerly called, and is still well defined, although the restoration was only recently completed in 2010).
This has, in fact, become an ideal location for a great night: from the port to Piazza Duca d’Aosta the new street spreads, with the buzz of waves in the background and fine and elegant mansions that overlook the shore, as well. Many of the establishments that alternate on the waterfront bars, creperies, and clubs are literally besieged by young people. Most recently, the late night music allows for the drink and dance to go until the early morning hours. It should be emphasized, that inside the Marina, the large parking lots, even during crowded times, ensure available space for evening traffic.
