A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, Cinque Terre provides a pleasant mix of perfectly preserved architectures and a network of stunning coastal and mountain trails. It is a destination that needs more than a few days to admire its artistic beauty from the waterfront on land to the sanctuary at the cliff top high above. We would suggest travelling to the five villages of Cinque Terre in May or September if you want to avoid the hot weather. Sanctuary walks through the terraced vineyards and the magnificent view of splayed cliffs are an experience that you will surely remember.
