Program
The Authorized Tourist Guide will meet you at the reception of your Hotel or at the train station or any other
location as per request.
From here you'll reach Riomaggiore, by ferry boat or local train;
here the scenery is breathtaking.
The constructions in each town of Cinque Terre seem so daring that one often wonders how can these mediaeval buildings have survived the centuries despite their extremely unstable location.
The walk down will end at the ancient marina, that is still intact as it was about 1000 years ago is one of the most attractive corners of Cinque Terre.
The tour continues onto the famous "Via dell'Amore" (Path of Love) a romantic, easy and flat trail carved along the cliffs that offers spectacular views over the coastline, and connects Riomaggiore to Manarola .
At each step the scenery, the rock formations, the vegetation and colors change completely.
Manarola is possibly the most photogenic of the five town, it’s composed by an myriad of alleys which go all around it and walking along toward the point of the promontory will allow you to have the most breathtaking view of it.
Lunch is at your leisure in one of the very good local restaurants
Local Specialties : Pasta with Pesto sauce, seafood, fresh vegetables and good local wines.

Terre coastline that in about 10 minutes will reach Vernazza, the small carachteristic of the Cinque Terre with its small harbour and the pastel coloured facades of its
