Explore the stunning Cinque Terre along a series of 15th
century footpaths
The Cinque Terre in northern Italy are a series of five small fishing villages
dug into the cliffs where the Apennine mountains meet the Mediterranean
coast line. Each village has retained its character and traditions from
earlier times, impressively perched between the rocky shoreline and the
steep terraced hills. The extensive network of trails connecting the villages
pass through olive groves and terraced vineyards, with sweeping views of
the vast expanse of the Mediterranean below. Beyond the five villages of
Cinque Terre the walks take in some of the lesser known villages, towns and
stretches of the Ligurian coastline. This centre based walk will see you living
like a local, based in an apartment in the charming middle town of Corniglia
and sourcing your wine, bread and antipasto from the local provider.
