Idyllic & Iconic: Walking the Picturesque Towns of the Cinque Terre
- Picturesque towns on the Italian Riviera, including Portofino, Riomaggiore, Portovenere and Monterosso, as well as lesser-known places like the charming former fishing village of Camogli
- The tranquil settings of the impressive San Frattuoso Abbey, located in a quiet cove only reachable by boat or by foot
- Experience the timeless appeal of exploring the titular ‘five towns’ of the route, the architecture of each beautifully preserved under the National Park’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Incredible views over the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean from the clifftop routes that link village to village
- Spend the evenings exploring the maze of terraces, bars, cafes and restaurants of the colourful towns you visit along the way, including the lovely medieval settings of Portovenere
Why this Walk?
A spectacular journey exploring the Cinque Terre, a string of centuries-old fishing villages along the rugged northern section of the Ligurian Riviera, from the charming fishing village of Camogli to the classic, seafront beauty of Portovenere. The route links some of Liguria’s most captivating locales, including the harbourside of Portofino, the sorbet-coloured houses of Riomaggiore, and Cinque Terre’s largest village – Monterosso, set amidst terraces of olive groves and vineyards. Out on the trail, you’ll cross paths with the secluded, shoreside settings of San Fruttuoso Abbey and stay in a variety of friendly, family-run hotels.

You choose which day you would like your holiday to start on. We will book your holiday in accordance with your requirements.
Our Cinque Terre holidays are available to walk March to October.
By hiking the trail in the months of April, May, June September and October, you’ll avoid having to head out early just to avoid the sweltering heat of midday – a factor that makes progress along the path discernibly harder. Another factor to consider in not visiting during high summer is that you’ll find towns and accommodations are less busy.
The nearest airports to the start of your walk are found in Genoa and Pisa.
Genoa (GOA) http://www.airport.genova.it/en/
Pisa (PSA) http://www.pisa-airport.com/en/
You are responsible for booking your air travel to airports and onward travel to your first accommodation and from your accommodation on departure.

Cinque Terre Client Reviews
5/5 based on 1 reviews
Nathan has always responded to my queries promptly. The walk pack is excellent and it was great to receive it 4 weeks before departure so that I could get train times and other information organised before our arrival in Italy. It was good to have the same person dealing with my booking - and the walk pack was excellent.
