Cinque Terre · Liguria

The five villages

Five harbours, one coastline — each with its own story. Read them here, then see them the way the coast intended: from the water.

Monterosso al Mare

The largest of the five — and the only one with a true beach.

Vernazza

The natural harbour — many call it the most beautiful of the five.

Corniglia

The quiet one — high on the cliff, among the vineyards.

Manarola

Perhaps the oldest — and the most photographed.

Riomaggiore

Where the day ends — the easternmost village.
