Cinque Terre

Fantastic seaside, surprising colours and nature

Cinque Terre is a territory in which sea and land are melting shaping a unique and evocative area.
18 kilometers of rocky coastline abounding with bays, beaches and deep sea, surrounded by mountains running parrellel to the coast.
Terracings cultivated with vineyards and olives, kept under control by old dry stone walls. A naturalistic heritage of great variety. Paths and mule tracks look onto breathtaking views. Five villages, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso face onto the sea.
An environment in which centuries old work of generations has transformed an inaccessable territory into a landscape of extraordinary beauty.
A Protected Marine Area and a National Park which preserves the absolute uniqueness. The Cinque Terre have been declared a World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 1997.
