Colorful houses are scattered on the cliffs, contrasting with the blue sea and blue sky, and are picturesque. You can enjoy a pleasant sunbath on the beach, and feel the charm of nature along the hiking trails. Transportation, catering and other costs are relatively high. The highlight is the colorful houses, spectacular coastline and rich hiking trails. You can leisurely experience the unique style of each village and experience the Mediterranean romance and comfort.
We visited Cinque Terre on a day bus tour from Florence and despite a confusing rushed start to the morning once we were on the bus headed for La Spezia things seemed to calm down. We were able to visit 4 of the 5 villages that make up this quaint area.Taking the train from La Spezia our first stop was Monterosso. We had lunch a little beach side restaurant. Pasta because when in Italy... From there we made our backwards stopping at Vernazza where it was a short walk down to the water from the station and the first taste of the iconic fishing village vista that is synonymous with Cinque Terre. Before moving on to Manarola and finally Riomaggiore where we were able to catch the start of a beautiful sunset.There was a lot to fit in one day especially with the lengthy distance to Florence but it was worth every minute.I would definitely look to stay in or near the villages if I were to visit again. The hiking trail across the 5 villages looks very intriguing.
