- Cinque Terre
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Get ready for a daylong journey exploring a famous portion of the Italian Coast. The Cinque Terre or "Five Lands" is made up of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Board a motorboat and travel from Portofino to Santa Margherita. Arrive in Santa Margherita and board an air-conditioned motorcoach to Manarola. In Manarola you will board a motorboat for a short cruise up the Cinque Terre to Monterosso al Mare.
At Monterosso al Mare you will have free time to explore the tiny shops and experience local hospitality. Visit the local cafes and enjoy a traditional Italian lunch on your own. Gaze out past the sandy beaches filled with colorful umbrellas, and enjoy the tranquil blue Mediterranean resting before you.
