If you are looking for that iconic, classic Italian landscape, this is it. The Chiesa del Soccorso is one of my absolute favorite places to watch the sunset, it’s pure romance.

The white church sits right on a cliff edge, overlooking the sea. If you look down, you can see the waves crashing against the rocks, and during golden hour, the sun sets right behind the building, creating a breathtaking silhouette.

During the summer, right in the square before you reach the church, you’ll find a cute Ape Car serving drinks. Grab an aperitivo there, find a spot, and enjoy the show.

If you are coming by car, I recommend parking in the blue lines along the SP270 or using the paid parking lot near GAMEMANIA. Remember to always pay for the blue lines! From there, enjoy a walk through the heart of Forio's center until you reach the stunning church. You can find all my best parking hacks in the Travel Tips section.
