The Italian Riviera is not short of rugged coastline or romantic towns and villages, but the five fishing communities of the Cinque Terre are its most iconic highlight.
The Cinque Terre , meaning “Five Lands” is a coastal area within Liguria, in the northwest of Italy.
The Cinque Terre are one of the most uncontaminated areas in the Mediterranean Sea. Five miles of rocky coast among two promontories, thousands of kilometers of dry-laid stone walls, five small towns castled up on stone spurs in minuscule creeks. For their history and their position, the Cinque Terre have not suffered a massive expansion. The vineyards, typical of this area, have contributed to create a unique landscape with dry-laid stone walls, winding paths, enchanting beaches between cliffs and clear waters.
The Cinque Terre have a jagged profile along the five miles of rocky coastline enclosed by two promontories. Rocks overlooking the sea, small coves, bays, ravines, beaches between cliffs create a unique landscape with crystal-clear sea.
Cinque Terre comprises five villages:
Monterosso
Vernazza
Corniglia
Manarola
Riomaggiore.
The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
