Cinque Terre

Five small villages of the eastern Riviera, reachable only from the sea until the last century,
owe nowadays their fame to the charm of their landscape, remained almost intact over the centuries
and recently got accessible thanks to the railway and to small roads, well paved but still narrow and curvy.

From the town Deiva Marina to Cinque Terre:
Reaching the 5 Terre from Deiva Marina is very easy by train, walking or boat (available from Deiva Marina
only in summer), or by car with the proper terms. Visiting the Cinque Terre could seem difficult at first sight.
Actually it’s very easy if you use the train or the car, travelling along the panoramic road which at high coast
crosses all the territory, starting from Deiva Marina towards Framura, Bonassola, Levanto and then
the Park of 5Terre, through the uplands of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.
At this point the road leaves the coast reaching La Spezia, from where you can catch the motorway.

Train, Car and walking trails:
Trying to visit the Cinque Terre by car is an useless waste of time, because the roads are narrow
and the parking places are almost impossible to be found and in case very expensive.
The train is the best way to reach and visit them, as each village has its own train station, as well as Deiva Marina.
Every village is connected to the others by wonderful walking trails, which, with a little effort to reach
the heights, can be enjoyed by everybody, adults and children, of course under the watch of their parents.

The walking trails of Cinque Terre:
Visiting the villages and walking along the paths is the true reason of your journey, which will leave you feelings and unforgettable memories.
Mother nature and men's work have been shaping over the centuries an unique landscape which in the last decades has become national park,
protected marine area and declared by UNESCO world's heritage site (it's necessary a special card to enter into the walking trails).

Walking from Deiva Marina to Portovenere:
even if the walking trails inside the park are the most famous, we must not forget that they are part of the same net
which connects the town of Sestri Levante to Portovenere and that outside the park of Cinque Terre they are totally free of charge.
