The region known as Cinque Terre owes its name to five villages - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore - perched along a precipitous stretch of coastline two hours drive south of Parma.
The steep hillsides of the Cinque Terre rise steeply out of the Mediterranean, and are crowded with terraced vineyards and olive groves.
Some villages sit high on cliffs, while others squeeze into deep ravines at the sea's edge, with fishing boats piled in their narrow streets or bobbing in tiny protected harbours.
Over two days you'll walk the entire length of the Cinque Terre coastline along a network of ancient footpaths. These often steep and rugged trails have been formed by countless generations of villagers, coming and going between their homes, gardens, grape-vines and olive groves.
Accommodation:
The group will stay two nights in a small hotel and independent apartments in Corniglia, the smallest of the Cinque Terre villages.
Cinque Terre highlights:
Picturesque villages, vineyards, olive groves. The many panoramic vistas from trails high above the Mediterranean Sea. Experiencing village life over two nights in tiny Corniglia.
