Cinque Terre

Cinque-TerreDuration: 9 hours

The private Shore Excursion to the Cinque Terre leaves from the dock of your ship at 8:00am where you meet one of our English speaking driver-guide waiting for you holding a sign with your name on. You will drive north of Livorno along the coastline to reach these five coastal villages in the province of La Spezia in the Liguria region. They have come to be one of the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name: the Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The five villages are, from west to east, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. There is a passenger ferry service running between the five villages, providing a diverse observation point of the rugged coastline and shore line at each village. Ferries do not stop at Corniglia because it does not have a natural harbour or marina. There are well-laid out walking trails connecting each village to its neighbours. The path from Riomaggiore to Manarola is called the Via dell’ Amore, “Lovers Walk”. This picturesque trail winds along the shore, varying in nature and difficulty from an easy stroll to a rough and physically challenging hike. The stretch from Manarola to Corniglia is also easy to hike, although the main trail into Corniglia finishes with a climb of 368 stairs. The trail from Corniglia to Vernazza is steep at certain places. The trail from Vernazza to Monterosso is by far the steepest. It winds through olive orchards and vineyards and is rough in places, but offers the best view of the bay and the spectacular approaches to both Monterosso and Vernazza. There are nominal fees to use the more popular walking trails, but the less frequently travelled (and most arduous) are free of charge. At the end of the tour you will drive back to your ship in a comfortable 60 minutes ride.

Important Notes:

  • please, dress respectfully to visit the holy buildings: cover your knees and shoulders;
  • if possible wear or take with you comfortable shoes even if walking is limited;
  • watch out for your wallet and bags; it is recommended not to wear valuable jewelry.
