Cinque Terre is a region in Liguria, in northwestern Italy near La Spezia, where the coast starts to curve towards Monaco and France. It refers to five colorful villages perched on the rocky cliffs that are available mainly by train, foot or boat. The landscapes are simply stunning, the beaches idyllic, and the water warm and gentle. Paradise perhaps?

Approaching Manarola.
|
Young and brave people jumping off a rock outcrop right in the small harbour of Manarola. Crazy!

The view of Manarola from the restaurant where we ate a delicious lunch.
Perhaps the tastiest focaccia ever!

| Modern art meets traditional architecture in Manarola. |
