Whether on your own, with your family or with a partner, whether you are cycling or walking, in the Cinque Terre area fun, uncontaminated, wild landscapes, and breathtaking corners are just around the corner. The spectacular landscapes, the coast etched by the Mediterranean Sea and mountains behind the Ligurian sea, the bays that mirror that special light from the clear skies make the Cinque Terre a unique experience . Each village has its own special attractions and is rich in the best Italian folklore, food, etc ….. There is something here for everyone. You will never be disappointed. The "Cinque Terre", where "Terre" (lands) stands for maritime medieval fishermen’s villages, are a landscape included by UNESCO among the “World’s Heritage” due to their beauty, and the particularities which characterize this territory. The Cinque Terre, the “Five Lands“ or the “Five Villages” (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso) is famous all over the world, mainly thanks to its paths and walks which wind round the coast or reach the sanctuaries above each village. The breath-taking view can be enjoyed by everybody: young or old. Public transport (train, ferryboat, bus, etc..) offers an ideal easy trouble free way to enjoy the Cinque Terre at its best. The Five Lands are a group of five picturesque tiny villages along the coast surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and woods.

  • Cinque Terre
    Cinque Terre Welcome to the ItalianCoast Cinque Terre, which translates to “the five lands,” is one of the most dramatic sites along the Italian Rivera. Once brushed aside as a fly over destination, the five villages that comprise this medieval-era coast – Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore – are now a top vacation spot for anyone looking for an old-world Italian experience. The ancient villages, the first of which was founded 643 AD, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and were declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1997. Your colorful, coastal adventure begins with a flight into your designated airport, where ground transportation will whisk you away to become acquainted with your yacht and crew. Once guests have settled in, the real fun begins with the first stop on your luxury private cruise: Monterosso al Mare. The rugged terrain of this quiet seaside escape will leave all in awe. Whether you choose to spend your time admiring historic cas- tles or the lively, local churches; wandering the narrow streets while staring up at the vernacular, vibrant architecture; jumping into a popular swimming hole with the local; snorkeling reefs teeming with life; or simply shopping till you drop – you’ll find yourself wishing the adventure will never end! Monterosso al Mare You’ll find Monterosso al Mare located at the center of a natural gulf, which is protected by a small artificial reef. The village is divided into two distinctive parts: old town and new town, which are split by a single tunnel that was built in 1870.

It is a wonderful sight to see, such steep, and cliff like mountains that birds have difficulty flying over, so stony that they do not retain humidity, covered with vines that are so thirsty and frail that they are more like ivy than vines.

  • Cinque Terre and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto)
    IAEG Commission 16 – UNESCO World Heritage Italy Porto Venere, Cinque Terre and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto) Historical background - Engineering geological conditions and problems: The Ligurian coast between Cinque Terre and Porto Venere is a landscape of high scenic and cultural value. The form and the disposition of villages and the surrounding landscape, overcoming the disadvantages of a steep and broken terrain, encapsulate the continuous history of human settlement in this region over the past millennium. Since all the Cinque Terre hamlets are built on promontories overlooking the sea, the main geological Manarola (www.baranin.com) problems concern coastal dynamics and landslides. The action of the sea on the rock cliffs (sandstones, limestones and slates) together with structural discontinuities and position of the substratum provoke the disintegration of brittle rocks. Landslides are a consequence of both cliff undercutting by wave action (especially falls and overtoppings) and terrace cultivation (mainly slides). In this last case, mass movements occur as a Porto Venere and the islands of Palmaria, consequence of lands neglect. Tino and Tinetto (www.portovenere.it) Investigations and protection measures already realized: The ENEA Group realized investigations on coastal dynamics in the Porto Venere area including: • Historical information; • Geological and structural aspects of the area; • Type of upheaval; • Predisposing and triggering factors; • Analysis of rock stability; • Strategy of phenomena mitigation with

  • Genoa and the Cinque Terre
    AETAS VIAGGI – TEL. + 39 06 71 58 40 64 – [email protected] – www.aetasviaggi.com GENOA AND THE CINQUE TERRE The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The Cinque Terre area is a very popular tourist destination. Day 1: Arrival in Genoa. Guided tour of the historical center: the Romanesque-Gothic Church of S. Lorenzo, with its beautiful interior frescoes and the famous chapel of the Baptist, Piazza De Ferrari with the Opera House and the Academy of Fine Arts, the Church of Jesus, a fine example of Baroque, including works by Rubens and Guido Reni, the Ducal Palace, seat of the city government, now used as a major art exhibitions.
