Without a shadow ofdoubt, the five villages that constitute the ‘Cinque Terre’, the five lands,are the highlight of any trip to Liguria, the coastline at its most magical.The villages are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola andRiomaggiore and together are a UNESCO world heritage site. One of the featuresthat makes these villages so unique is that they can only be accessed on foot,by boat or by train. Steep terraces plunge down to the tiny harbours below withcolourful little houses, huddled together all the way down. You will feel thatyou have stepped into a painting back at the turn of the century.
