Cinque Terre
(other 4 villages)
|
Riomaggiore, the most eastern village, has a
wondeful harbor and the steepest main street. |
|
Manarola is the 2nd most eastern village of the five. It had a beautiful
harbor that is much narrower than Vernazza. |
|
I was in Manarola at sunset,
and I thought about staying there for the rest of my life. |
|
Manarola's protective harbor requires a cable system to rise and lower
the fishing boats. |
|
Corniglia is the only village
that doesn't have a harbor, but can be reached by walking up some significant
number of steps near the train station. I hiked there from Vernazza. |
|
Monterosso al Mare has a long beach, and probably the most touristy of
all of the five villages, but it has an amazingly clear and beautiful seafront.
Look at the color of that water! |
