Detailed itinerary

The church of San Pietro and the colorful houses where you can take your first breathtaking photo.

We will pass through the Portovenere canal where on your right you will see the fantastic town of Portovenere with its colorful houses and on your left the Palmaria island.

Stop 3 Pass by

We will pass in front of this Unesco heritage town to admire it and take pictures and take a bath under a natural freshwater waterfall.

Manarola to photograph from the sea remains one of the most beautiful with rocks that emerge from the sea.

BOAT STOP: Corniglia is the only one of the 5 lands with the residential area that is slightly higher than the marina. For this reason it is my favorite. If we are lucky we will see the typical "Little Mermaid" of Corniglia! We will also see a very suggestive small cave and we will stop in the next bay to have lunch and take a swim, without getting off the boat.

We will pass in front of this UNESCO heritage town and you can decide to go down to visit it and have an ice cream.
