The Italian Riviera
Overview
The Cinque Terre one of the most unspoilt areas of the Mediterranean and one of the most extended areas in Liguria. They are a kingdom of nature and wild scents maintained as in the past. To visit Cinque Terre means to visit five villages suspended between sea and earth, clinging on to cliffs and surrounded by green hill; it means to know the history of whom, for centuries, has fought against difficult land but it also means to taste the result of this millenarian struggle and in particular wine and produce. Visit these villages means to learn the culture of the drystone walls and of the vineyard, of the fishermen and of their nets, of the steep valleys and of their path. Who visit Cinque Terre can choose between a dive in the sea or hike on the hills, between a walk in the narrow alleys called "carruggi" or a ride by boat, a pilgrimage to a sanctuary or a seafood lunch. It is a landscape unique in the world in which man and nature live together in harmony since the beginning of time.Private Touring
