Favorite thing: If you are staying in Cinque Terre for any numer of days pick up your Cinque Terre Card. It covers unlimited travel in second class trains between the villages (Levanto to La Spezia). Plus it is required if you want to hike the paths between villages.
The ticket is purchased at the begining of of the hiking path between villages or you can purchase at any rail station in the Cinque Terre.
Plus you are givin a map

Fondest memory: After spending half a day there at the beach, I had to reach back the train station; Had to get back because Vladimir prepared a dinner on that evening with some of his mates.
Photo is showing the path just behind the train station where there are some people also waiting for the train to some other Cinque Terre destinations or back to La Spezia...

Fondest memory: In this area also, we can see some yachts saling nearby, not too near to the rocks though.
Somebody told me that people who have yachts in this area are rich people who like to show off to the people at the beach...

Fondest memory: As I entered the beach, I saw this sea sight...
Could see some yachts, sailing in the blue sea; People swimming etc.
This is a private beach area so I had to pay to be in this area but it was damn worth it for me, at least...

Fondest memory: I found the tunnel !
Walking through this tunnel was great fun ! There's a door, shut closed.
I pressed the button & came a voice, talking Italian of course...
I didn't understand, then an Italian couple came behind me & the guy answered the call, saying like 3 of us wanted to enter.
The guy's girlfriend just smiled at me...
We entered & walked about half a mile (that's a long walk !) when we finally came to the beach...
Love what I saw !

Fondest memory: Saw this beautiful house while walking towards the beach...
It could be a hotel, could be somebody's house...but it was tight shut.
I would just imagine it to be my house !
One of the beautiful sights around Corniglia...

Favorite thing: Corniglia is considered the most characteristic village of the Cinque Terre as it is the only one far away from the sea and there for also from the tourists influence.
It is worth having a walk in the middle of the narrow side streets which will lead you to a small square high above the sea from where you can admire the whole coast.

Favorite thing: This village, which looks more like a rural than a seafaring village, is the only one in which houses are not directly on the sea, and reses on the top of a headland. On the surrounding hills, vines and olive trees are grown.

Favorite thing: We walked from Manarola to Corniglia in about 45 minutes. The sun rays the whole path long, and we saw the beautiful beaches and the beautiful blue sea beneath us..
We walked along the sea in a height of about 30 m.
A lot of stairs, from where we had a fantastic panorama, brought us to Corniglia within 10 minutes
