Description
Starting from La Spezia, this tour explores the two crown jewels of the Gulf of Poets: the elegant medieval village of Portovenere and the five breathtaking cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre.
Portovenere — perched on a rocky promontory at the entrance to the Gulf of La Spezia — is one of Liguria's most beautiful villages, with colourful tower houses, the striped Church of San Pietro, and spectacular views. Lord Byron swam from here across the bay.
Then the Cinque Terre: Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore — some of the most photographed places in Italy. Walk the coastal paths between the villages, try fresh focaccia and pesto, or sit on a terrace watching the sea.
