Cinque Terre is a string of five fishing villages, hundreds of years old, with their colorful houses clinging to the Ligurian coastal rocks: Rio Maggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso.
Each village has its unique story and a sanctuary perched high on the cliff-side with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Over the centuries, people have built terraces to cultivate grapes and olives on the rugged, steep landscape surrounding these charming harbors, filled with fishing boats, cafés, and trattorias. Cinque Terre literally means five countries which offer a variety of experiences to stimulate your five senses.
In three words:
Poetic, Authentic, Colorful
