The Journey
Portovenere
Portovenere, often called the sixth village of Cinque Terre, enchants visitors with its striking harbor lined with tall, brightly colored houses. Marvel at the magnificent St. Peter’s Church perched dramatically on the cliffside, offering breathtaking views of the Ligurian Sea. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Portovenere boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times, and its vibrant atmosphere and stunning architecture make it an unforgettable destination.
Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the Cinque Terre villages, is a cascade of brightly colored houses clinging to the steep hillsides. Renowned for its excellent diving spots within the protected marine area, it's a haven for underwater enthusiasts. This picturesque village also marks the beginning of the famous Via dell'Amore (Lovers' Lane) footpath, a romantic trail leading to neighboring Manarola. Explore its charming harbor and soak in the authentic Ligurian atmosphere.
Manarola
Manarola, nestled at the northern end of the Via dell'Amore, is celebrated for its scenic beauty and unique wine production. This village produces Sciacchetrà, a rare and exquisite dessert wine found only in this region. Admire the colorful houses that seem to spill down the hillside towards the sea. Manarola offers a slower pace of life and the perfect setting to savor the flavors and scenery of the Cinque Terre.
Corniglia
Perched high on a cliff 100 meters above the sea, Corniglia distinguishes itself as the only Cinque Terre village without a harbor. Ascend the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps, to reach this charming village. Enjoy unparalleled panoramic views from its terrace, encompassing Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south, and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north. Experience a quieter, more secluded side of the Cinque Terre in this elevated haven.
Vernazza
Vernazza, often considered the most charming of the Cinque Terre, captivates with its picturesque harbor and the iconic Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, standing proudly at the water's edge. Explore the Torre del Belforte, a historic watchtower that once protected the village from invaders. With its vibrant atmosphere, colorful buildings, and stunning coastal views, Vernazza is a true gem of the Ligurian coast.
Monterosso al Mare
Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost and largest of the Cinque Terre villages, is divided into the historic center and the modern Fegina area, connected by a pedestrian tunnel. Unlike its sister villages, Monterosso boasts sandy beaches and offers full beach services, making it a popular destination for sun-seekers. Discover the iconic statue of the Giant, explore the medieval castle ruins, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling coastal town.
