RIOMAGGIORE: Riomaggiore will welcome you with brightly colored homes stacked on striking cliffs. Enjoy about an hour to explore the beachy alleyways and admire the lovely views. Time flies in this village and the time to leave again comes in a heartbeat. Your escort will lead you heading to the nearby town of Manarola.

MANAROLA: Manarola, an ancient fishermans village, is renowned for its colorful homes and its pristine white wine! Take in the stunning views of the sparkling blue sea, flawless houses stacked on top of each other, and the green grapevines towering in the distance.

With an hour at your disposal, you can explore this picturesque town as you please. It’s time to continue towards Monterosso!

The wide, white beaches with crystal-clear water that stretch across this historic fishing town are what make it most famous.
