The name Cinque Terre refers to five dramatically situated villages that cling to the Ligurian cliffs. Travel along this spectacular area beginning with a scenic drive en route to Manarola, possibly the oldest town in the Cinque Terre. Arrive in Manarola where you will enjoy some free time and then board the boat to Monterosso,. The medieval Aurora Tower stands proudly in the center of the village and you can browse the many shops and enjoy a traditional Italian lunch on your own.Enjoy a pesto-tasting in one of the local cafè and free time. At the completion of your day, you will take the train to Levanto where your motorcoach takes you back to Genoa and the ship.
