Highlights
- Monterosso al Mare - The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
- Vernazza - Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
- Corniglia - Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
- Manarola - Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
- Riomaggiore - While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

I had to take the tour again! - This was my second time taking this tour because I loved it so much the first time. Simone is a great captain, tour guide and photographer, he makes the experience a great one! My sister was blown away by this tour, she said it was her “wow moment” of her trip here. Also, be careful with the pesto because it is SO GOOD, you won’t find anything like it. I haven’t found a pesto that good anywhere, trust me, I’ve been looking!
Thank you Simone for an amazing morning, we will be back!

Did not miss this experience of this magnificent site, seen from the sea - We discovered the five lands of the sea, accompanied by an excellent navigator and a most charming guide.
This is the best way to appreciate the beauty of these five small towns

Treat Yourself - Experience Cinqueterra from the water! - Really enjoyed being on the water and seeing Cinqueterra from the water. The “captain” was knowledgeable about the area and had water and wine on board for us. Very patient while the kids same around the boat in the middle of the sea.

Must-do in Cinque Terre! - This was our favorite activity in Cinque Terre! Simone was kind, funny, and informative. The wine, pesto, and focaccia was delicious. It was an absolutely fabulous way to see the 5 towns by sea, to swim, and to enjoy the first few days of our honeymoon.
