The Journey
Monterosso al Mare
Discover Monterosso al Mare, the largest and most accessible of the Cinque Terre villages. Divided into the historic center and the modern Fegina, connected by a pedestrian tunnel, Monterosso stands out for its expansive sandy beaches—a rarity in this rugged region. Bask in the sun, savor fresh seafood, and explore the ancient Aurora Tower, a remnant of the village's medieval defenses. The vibrant atmosphere and beachside amenities make Monterosso a perfect introduction to the Cinque Terre's charm, offering a blend of relaxation and exploration that appeals to every traveler.
Vernazza
Step into a postcard-perfect scene in Vernazza, often hailed as the most charming of the Cinque Terre villages. Its vibrant harbor, framed by colorful houses and the iconic Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, creates an unforgettable vista. Explore the remnants of the Doria Castle, offering panoramic views, and lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets. Vernazza's timeless beauty and authentic atmosphere make it a quintessential Cinque Terre experience, inviting you to savor the slow pace of Ligurian life.
Corniglia
Ascend to Corniglia, the only Cinque Terre village perched high atop a cliff, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Without direct sea access, Corniglia boasts a unique, tranquil atmosphere. Climb the 365 steps of the Lardarina staircase or take the shuttle to reach this hidden gem, and be rewarded with sweeping vistas of the entire coastline, from Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south to Vernazza and Monterosso to the north. Discover its vineyards and savor the local wines, immersing yourself in the serene beauty that sets Corniglia apart.
Manarola
Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of Manarola, famed for its colorful houses cascading down to the sea and its historic wine production. Stroll through its narrow, winding streets, leading to a small harbor teeming with fishing boats. Indulge in Sciacchetrà, the rare and exquisite dessert wine unique to this region, and explore the surrounding vineyards that cling to the steep slopes. Manarola's authentic Ligurian character and stunning scenery offer a taste of the Cinque Terre's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
Riomaggiore
Discover Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the Cinque Terre villages, where brightly colored houses cling precariously to the steep hillsides. Explore its narrow caruggi (alleys), leading to a charming harbor and offering breathtaking sea views. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the marine protected area, renowned for its excellent diving spots. Start your romantic journey along the Via dell'Amore, a scenic path connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola. The village's vibrant atmosphere and dramatic setting make Riomaggiore a captivating destination for adventurers and romantics alike.
