The Cinque Terre is a collection of five famously picturesque coastal villages along the Italian Riviera in the Liguria region of North Western Italy, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The villages are linked by footpaths, trains and boats and cars are not allowed into the villages themselves. There are a number of fairly challenging hiking trails between the villages that offer splendid views over the Mediterranean. Walking from one town to the next you can stop off to eat and/or sunbathe at each one. If you don’t want to hike all the way back to where you are staying you can take the train that runs regularly between all five villages, a two day train card is included in the package. Bear in mind that some of the paths have been closed since the flash floods of 2011, but most are still accessible. Other popular activities in the area include mountain biking, horse riding and scuba diving, while paragliding is popular in the winter around Monterosso. There are a number of cafes and restaurant dotted around each of the villages, some of which are fairly touristy, while others offer wonderful fresh local seafood specialties, accompanied by the excellent dry white wine produced locally on the terraced vineyards you will see around the area.
Half-day kayaking tour Paddle from Monterosso towards Vernazza until you reach the beach at Guvano. Morning tour takes 3 hours, in the summer you can also stop off to snorkel. Evening sunset tour takes 2.5 hours (available from April to end of September) with a stop in a cove for wine and snacks. If you are an experienced kayaker and would prefer a full-day tour please contact us before you book. E-bike tour Your guide will meet you with your e-bikes at La Spezia train station and give you a quick briefing on the excursion and show you how to use your pedal-assisted bikes. The excursion along quiet paved roads lasts around 4 hours and takes in Vernazza, the sanctuaries of San Bernadino and Madonna di Reggio, local vineyards and olive groves and beautiful coastal views. Your guide will tell you all about the local history and culture along the way, with plenty of photo stops. Towards the end of the tour you will stop in Soviore for a glass of local wine and a taste of fresh foccaccia. Total height difference: 610m / Length of tour: approx 18km / Technical level: Easy Rock climbing excursion Great for beginners and experienced climbers alike as there are routes to suit all levels at this scenic climbing spot high above the Ligurian sea between Portovenere and the Cinque Terre. You will meet your guide in Portovenere and hike for 45 mins to the climbing area where you will be given a short briefing before climbing. This is a private tour, if there are any members of the party who do not want to take part but would like to join the hike and watch just let us know before you book. If you have your own climbing shoes then bring them otherwise your guide will provide them. A packed lunch is included.
