Focaccia, hike, pasta, hike, sleep, repeat.

Imagine a string of five vibrant pearls strung along a rugged coastline. This is Cinque Terre, where pastel-painted houses tumble down cliffsides, meeting the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Unlike the bustling French Riviera, Cinque Terre offers a slower pace, a place to wander cobbled streets and savor the charm of a bygone era. Hike between villages on breathtaking trails, breathing in the salty air and the scent of lemon groves. Dive into hidden coves for a refreshing swim, or simply relax on a sun-warmed rock, mesmerized by the endless blue horizon. For a taste of adventure, explore the dramatic cliffs and hidden inlets by kayak, or delve into the underwater world teeming with colorful marine life. Cinque Terre is a place where time seems to slow down, inviting you to reconnect with nature's beauty and the simple pleasures of life.

Disclaimer: It was more like 2.5 days because I was in Pisa for part of it, but I feel like I still got a lot done as if I were there for 3. I visited 3 of the 5 villages in Cinque Terre. Sadly, there was a train strike while I was there so that is why I couldn't make it to Vernazza and Monterosso. This is something to keep in mind while traveling in Italy. I had no idea there was a train strike until I got there and that definitely shaped my itinerary as the train is a main resource for transportation in Italy. This guide is part of my 12 day trip to Italy as a solo female foodie thrill seeker that I took back in March 2022. 📍Manarola 📍Riomaggiore 📍Corniglia 🛏️ Airbnb experience - high quality, best location (water front views with balcony) and affordable rates 🚆 Transportation tips 🍴 Good and bad eats...focusing on local + non-touristy spots 🏞️ Scenic photo spots with map coordinates 🛍️ Souvenir tips with map coordinates
