General description: small and simple fishermen villages, that's what originally one of the most famous destinations in Liguria was, or the Cinque Terre. Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore then are the names of these beautiful villages perched gracefully along the easterly Ligurian coast. Green cliff mountains going down into the sea, terraces along the steep slopes where the vine is cultivated for the production of Sciacchetrà, and finally the crystalline blue of the water is all that surrounds the whole context, thus giving to each village its own unique and original authenticity.
Length: 10 hours about
Departure: recommended 8.00am
Detailed description: going out for a few kilometers from Tuscany, thus encroaching in Liguria, we can admire the Cinque Terre in all its splendor. Of course, being these places on the sea, offer more services during the summer, although the interest on nature and the beauty obviously does not know seasons. Even in winter it is in fact very nice to walk along the narrow streets of the center of each village, then encountering a very few tourists and so most locals. Among the tours offered by us this is the only one that we can choose to do in several ways. Being very efficient the railway connection, once reached Riomaggiore you can take the train and make a stop in each village, rather than traveling by sea if the conditions do not allow it. Another solution may be to take the boat at Porto Venere, another small maritime village not far from the Cinque Terre, and do everything by that untill you will reach Monterosso. Here at the end of the day you will meet your driver, who will be glad to take you back to your resort in calm and security. Dropped off in Riomaggiore and then picked up exactly at the same place is another possible solution. Right here begins the Street of Love, or the long path that connects all the five countries. For those who love to walk twenty minutes will be sufficient in this case to just move on foot from Riomaggiore to Manarola. Well....here we are spoiled for choice! Once you will be arrived at your destination a taste of Sciacchetrà, the fortified wine produced in the area, then it will be the cherry on the cake to a wonderful day spent in peace and relax.
