Be sure to spend a few days exploring the Cinque Terre; a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing five stunning coastal towns, a few islands and a striking cliff face running along part of Liguria’s rugged coast.
These towns, including Manarola and Monterosso al Mare can be travelled around via frequent ferries as there are no main roads leading to these little gems tucked into the very heart of nature. Stop off for a delicious seafood lunch in the open air at Vernazza while you sip a crisp cold glass of wine and breathe in the fresh salty air of the Mediterranean.
There’s lots of intriguing marine life to be observed long the Ligurian coast, especially within a stretch of water called the Sanctuary of Crustaceans. Tourists who book themselves a place on a specialised marine spotting boat trip could be lucky enough to see a passing whale, dolphin and plenty of seals!
