Vernazza is the most beautiful village of the so called " Cinque terre "
Lots of colorfull houses, all built into a small and narrow bay.

Fisherboats, a narrow path leading through the terraces on the hills taking you to the next village Monterosso...

Vernazza - 5terre

I took a cruise from Portovenere to the Cinque Terre and had a stay there of 60 minutes.

That time is enough for a first overview, BUT not enough to explore everything.

But I am sure to return in 2004 !!

Vernazza - Cinque terre

Almost NO cars are parked in the main-square of Vernazza, BUT plenty of boats...

...and this adds a lot to the atmoshere of the lovely village.

Brings back memories of a marvelous visit I had there many years ago. There were no internet cafés back then, but I'm glad to see that everything else looks the same.

What a fascinating and beautiful place I missed. A good tip about the train station, I wasn't aware you could get there by train.

Vernazza looks like a beautiful village, but I can't imagine living on the side of a cliff like that!
