You will spend an unforgettable day discovering one of the most impressive Ligurian landscapes. In this area, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, earth and sea blend to create a unique landscape. The area consists of kilometres of rocky coasts with caves, beaches, hiking paths and breathtaking views. Meet our staff in Florence, where the tour will begin. You’ll first reach Manarola, a tiny urban jewel characterized by Genoese style ‘case-torri’. Then you will move to Vernazza, a village overlooked by the remains of a Medieval castle with a cylindrical tower, in which you can enjoy some free time. After that you will reach Monterosso, known as the ‘pearl of Cinque Terre’. This ancient fishing village with lovely beaches and lush vegetation covering the rocks that will certainly astonish you. First you’ll have a typical Ligurian lunch, where you’ll get the chance to taste the handmade pasta “trofie” with Pesto sauce, and other typical delicatessen, all accompanied by the kindness of the staff and relaxing music. After lunch you’ll also get the chance to take a swim as this is the biggest village with a perfect sandy beach and crystalline water. After that you’ll enjoy the village of Portovenere a small village plenty of several colored houses. Enjoy some free time before heading back to La Spezia where the train will be waiting for you.
