    Guided visits from May 1 - September 30: 9:30 AM, 11:45 AM, 3:00 PM, 5:45 PM

    Closed Mondays, Christmas, and New Year's Day

    The tour takes 50-60 minutes and the constant temperature inside the grotto is 16C (61F)

    Though I do not know the name of this church, you will see its steeple as the village is small. Walking to the church, turn around and you'll have fantastic view of the village of Borgio!!!

    It's very interesting to wander the practically deserted streets of the village--small lanes, cobblestone, cute residences, and no tourists. It's a small piece of heaven.

    Walk up to the church of St. Peter in Borgio

    It's a bit steep, but you'll end up in the center of the village on the hill. You might be the only ones in the square, as it's a really small town. The church is not always open, but it's nice to sit on the steps in front of the church and enjoy the view and tranquility.

    Borgio
    by wadekorzan
    Just near the town of Finale Liguria, there is a little town along the coast known as Borgio-Verezzi. Be sure to turn off the road, drive through the small modern town and head up the hill into the medieval town of Borgio. You'll have to park your car just outside the main part of the old town, because most of the streets are about 1 meter wide and no cars are allowed. I really felt like I was stepping back in time and it was just so beautiful. Best of all, this being the town from where my friend Leo's ancestors come, it seemed that his family history was all over--in the streets, the church, the cemetary. Aside from this, this is a place anyone can enjoy for a peaceful moment away from the traffic and crowds along the coast.

    The village of Riomaggiore is named after the brook (Rio) which flows through a deep winding gully down to a small beach. The path linking Manorola with Riomaggiore is known as the "Way of Love" and is very evocative because it is sunk in the rocks falling sheer to the sea. - a very romantic walk to make.

    Manorola a very colourful village, is situated in a narrow valley and the sides of the hills are planted with vines producing the wine called Sciacchetra (means press and pull).
    I loved this view of the pastel coloured houses all higgledy-piddaly on the cliff face in the afternoon sun.

    Corniglia view
    by sandysmith
    Corniglia is the only village of the Cinque Terre situated on a hillock planted with vines and olive groves. This tends to be the least touristic trap of the 5 villages - not many venture up here and it is so unspoilt . Looks as if it has not changed for centuries. In this area underwater fishing is very popular
    Corniglia was often celebrated in the works of Boccaccio's and Carducci'sbecause of its excellent wine - the Vernaaccia. A steep flight of steps leads down to Manorola - our next sto on the hike.

    I think the path to Corniglia form Vernazza is the hardest but the most scenic - it certainly had stunning views.
