Cinque Terre

Day 3

On our third day of exploration, we deviate from Tuscany's embrace and venture into the captivating region of Liguria. A scenic train ride transports us to the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Cinque Terre, the Five Lands – a quintessential Italian experience characterised by lemon trees, melodious church bells, and vibrant, colourful houses. These five charming seaside towns are seamlessly connected by a short and picturesque train journey.

In contrast to the bustling streets, we opt for a unique perspective – a 5-hour boat tour provided by the expert team of local boat tourers. Sail along the stunning coastline, basking in the tales and wonders of this UNESCO site. Take breaks for snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters and indulge in authentic Italian delicacies served on board.

Our next stop is the coastal gem of Porto Venere, a town that inspired literary luminaries Lord Byron and Mary Shelley with its breathtaking beauty. Wander through its romantic streets, steeped in history and charm.

As the tour concludes around 3 pm, the afternoon unveils a myriad of possibilities. Choose to explore the other enchanting seaside towns, engage in some leisurely shopping, unwind at the sandy beaches of Monterosso, or return to Viareggio for a well-deserved break. Flexibility is the essence of this experience, allowing direct communication with the tour operator to tailor the rest of the day according to individual preferences.

The evening gracefully unfolds with a sunset dinner, either on a terrace in Vernazza, surrounded by the captivating ambiance of Cinque Terre, or on Viareggio’s lively promenade. Both options promise a culinary delight and a final burst of joy before returning home to rest and rejuvenate for the adventures that await on the morrow.
