The Journey

1

Manarola

Manarola, a jewel of the Cinque Terre and a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its vibrant, stacked houses clinging to the rugged coastline. Wander through its narrow, winding streets, soak in the breathtaking views of the Ligurian Sea, and savor a delightful breakfast as the village awakens. Capture the essence of coastal village life amidst the colorful architecture and dramatic seaside cliffs. Consider taking the ferry to the next village for a unique perspective of the coastline.

Vernazza

Vernazza, a picturesque village built around a small fishing harbor, is a testament to medieval history. Explore the iconic Doria Castle perched atop a rocky outcrop, offering panoramic views of the harbor and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia. Take a refreshing dip in the Tyrrhenian waters around the natural harbor and indulge in the authentic flavors of Ligurian cuisine. Don't forget to find a memorable souvenir to cherish your time in this charming village.

3

Riomaggiore

Riomaggiore, another gem of the Cinque Terre, is dramatically perched on a cliff face, showcasing colorful houses that cascade down to the sea. The castle, strategically positioned, dominates the coastline, while the Church of San Giovanni, dating back to the 13th century, stands as a reminder of its medieval past. Take a refreshing swim in the small pebble beach of Rio and lose yourself in the unique charm of this vibrant village before continuing your journey.

Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli

Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, is a breathtaking ensemble of Pisan Romanesque architecture. Marvel at the Cathedral, Baptistery, and Camposanto, but most of all, stand in awe of the iconic Leaning Tower. The site showcases a profound legacy of Italian art and history. Although tickets to enter the Cathedral and the Leaning Tower are not included, the visual experience is unmatched. Allow ample time to absorb the grandeur of this historic piazza before concluding your unforgettable journey.
