Each one of these villages has its own charme - be it the harbour, the colorful houses, piazze, restaurants or beaches! I am sure everybody will find something to really enjoy!

We spent 4 days in Cinque Terre and saw a lot! This region is both for activities (especially hiking), but also for leisure - so check it out!

Another fine new page, Christine! I didn't try the local wines when I was there, so I have a good reason to go back. Hope you are enjoying this great sunny weekend. --- Don

A very interesting area of Liguria with picturesque villages. I suppose how beautiful can be a rest at this coast and you were lucky to spend there several days! I liked Vernazza best of all. Thanks Christine for excellent virtual travel.
