Discover the beautiful Cinque Terre, a picture perfect landscape of interconnecting villages that cling to steep cliffs above the Ligurian sea.
Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola - each with its own distinct character, set high above the rocky cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea - these five picturesque villages comprise the celebrated Cinque Terre. This breathtaking place was proclaimed a UNESCO Wold Heritage site in 1997 and it is the perfect backdrop for an entire day spent exploring the area.
Excursion starts from the Santa Margherita Ligure train station where you will meet your guide. The first stop on the tour is Corniglia, the only one of the five that is not on the sea. From this secluded little village, you will hike through the famed terraced vineyards and pine forests all the way to Volastra, and then descend to the seaside town of Manarola.
Following a break for lunch, you'll board the public boat to Vernazza and have a one-hour guided visit of this picturesque town. Another boat ride follows, giving you a chance to admire and photograph the rocky, Ligurian coastline from the sea. Disembarking at Monterosso, largest of the Cinque Terre, a leisurely stroll along the seaside promenade leads to the station where a direct Intercity train will take you back to your starting point.
