Things to Do
Running along a rugged stretch of the Ligurian coastline, the Cinque Terre is formed by five historic villages built between steep cliffs and the sea. The dramatic landscape and limited road access make boat travel one of the most striking ways to experience the area.

Boat tours along the Cinque Terre typically cruise past Monterosso, Vernazza, Manarola, Corniglia, and Riomaggiore, revealing the colourful buildings and terraced hillsides from the water. Excursions range from short scenic cruises to longer coastal routes, often combined with swimming and photography-focused itineraries.
