Monterosso al Mare (3 nights)

Famous the world over, five small colorful fishing villages carved out of the rocky mountainside above the sea, the Cinque Terre are a must-visit for any traveler to Italy.

The tiny towns are connected only by boat, train and hiking paths. A short and easy hike is the best way to get acclimated. Your private local guide will take you through terraced vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean. Afterwards you will experience a traditional meal in a local trattoria, tasting focaccia, anchovies, cheeses and more. The other best way to experience the Cinque Terre is by boat and you will enjoy a private tour on a comfortable motor boat, giving you a unique view of these five villages. You will have a chance to swim in the crystal-clear waters, discover the best hidden coves and indulge in a light lunch based on typical finger food and paired with some local wine and soft drinks.

This package is available from April to October.

Have the chance to discover “a paradise on Earth”, that has been cherished by famous writers and poets throughout history- Cinque Terre. These ancient villages are known as the best nature preserved areas in all of the Mediterranean, and they have been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997.
First stop of the villages is Riomaggiore to discover the castle built in 1260 to strengthen the villages’ defense and San Giovanni Battista Church. Following the coast up to one of the smallest towns, Manarola (known for their fishing and wine making) to admire the gorgeous vineyards above the town. Next stop is Corniglia, the town perched on the cliff to admire the gorgeous views from above. Then continue onto Vernazza, the gem of Cinque Terre. Dating back to 1080, Vernazza is known for the beauty that surrounds this historical village. It is one of the truest fishing villages that remains and is one of the few no car traffic towns in Italy. You will have the luxury of admiring this gorgeous town while on a romantic walk to discover the Capuchin Cloister. Lastly you will arrive in Monterosso- the largest of the villages in Cinque Terre, known for its sandy beaches, ancient castle, and giant sculpture of Neptune. Visiting these historical villages is truly an unforgettable experience!

During the tour you will also indulge in a light lunch based on typical snacks (focaccia and vegetable pies) and paired with some local wine and soft drinks.

This morning you may wake at your leisure and enjoy breakfast in your hotel before it's time to check out.
