Cinque Terre, Italy’s Splendid Coastal Villages

Nestled along the coast of the Province of La Spezia in Liguria, Italy, Cinque Terre is a small yet exquisite national park. Comprising the cliff-edged villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, along with the Cinque Terre, the Port of Venere, and the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto, this UNESCO World Heritage site serves as an exemplary model of how humans can shape and transform the environment without disrupting its natural beauty. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from the historically rich, spectacular, and colorful hamlets, nestled between rock reliefs and steep cliffs, the world-famous terraced hillside vineyards, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore villages constitute the Cinque Terre. Surrounded by agricultural terrain, these vibrant, charming, and simple villages form part of the Cinque Terre National Park conservation area. Manarola village soars above a pile of black boulders, with colorful houses seemingly emerging from the rocks. Besides its beauty, Manarola is also renowned for its high-quality olive oil and the acclaimed Passito wine ‘Sciacchetrà’. Open all year round, with the entire day accessible. Essential tips: the walking trails may be closed due to weather or geological reasons, so please consult with the local tourism bureau for specific opening information before departure.
