A few decades ago, no one knew the Cinque Terre existed.
Today it seems the entire world comes to visit this spectacular coastline with its five villages, all connected by a network of trails and trains.
Hiking here is extremely rewarding but also not easy, you must be fit.
But you will be rewarded with some of the best views in the world!
An easy introduction to the Cinque Terre. The path has steep sections at both ends and it leads through some of the nicest terrain through incredible terraces with vineyards and olive groves. Many flat parts introduce you to the territory before you hit the lover’s lane, the most popular stretch of the Cinque Terre, excavated in rocks overhanging the sea. Have a rest along the path on one of the many benches and enjoy!
Leaving Levanzo from the beach promenade, passing an old castle, we’ll take the donkey trail into the pine woods. Reach Punta Mesco and the old lighthouse. Again the views are unique. Get ready for the many stairs down to Monterosso. Once there, award yourself with a nice drink in one of the many bars at the sea front.
