The Cinque Terre is made up of five little isolated villages (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore) set in the steep, rugged coastline.
This area has been designated by Unesco as a World Heritage site. A visit to the Cinque Terre would not be complete without a walk along one of its many hiking itineraries, such as the Via dell’Amore (The Path of Love), which goes from Riomaggiore to Manarola.
Colourful houses clinging to rocky outcrops overhanging the sea and the terraced vineyards which produce excellent wines such as Sciacchetrà are part of Cinque Terre’s fascinating landscape.
This area’s extraordinary National Park is visited by millions of people each year.
