Detailed Description
An exciting adventure from Florence to discover the CINQUE TERRE NATIONAL PARK, a whole day dedicated to one of the most enchanting landscapes in the world. Five villages, suspended between sea and land, a place to immerse oneself in paradise and not by chance declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If at the time of purchase you have selected the full tour option, the villages of the Cinque Terre will be reached together with the guide, following a well-organised itinerary. If, on the other hand, you select the basic option, only the return bus transport from Florence will be included.
Five (Cinque) villages, suspended between sea and land, a place where you can immerse yourself into paradise, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
The day starts early in the morning, departing by bus from Florence. As mentioned, by selecting the ALL INCLUSIVE option, you will follow a well-defined itinerary.
After departing early from Florence, you will arrive at the first village - MANAROLA. This land dates back to the early thirteenth century and is famous for its historic character and local wine. Admire the brightly colored homes leaning one against another and stroll along the narrow cobblestone alleyways. Your guide will point you in the direction of a famous lookout point, where you can find one of Cinque Terre’s loveliest views - an Instagrammer’s dream!
Then, you will reach VERNAZZA by 10 minute train. This is one of the most colorful and photographed fishing villages of the area, where you will have free time to sit on the tiny harbor and relax, breathing in the atmosphere of this unique area out of time.
Next, head to MONTEROSSO by train... You will be awed by this ancient fishing village considered “The Pearl of the Cinque Terre.” You will have plenty of free time to enjoy its enchanting sand beaches as well as the lush vegetation encircling the little town. You will have free time to plunge into the crystal sea and sunbathe, as well as grab a local lunch.
You will then take a boat to your last destination: as you sail along the coastline, you will have the privilege to admire the villages from a different perspective, the sea! Feel the breeze on your skin and enjoy stunning panoramic views.
Once you arrive at the last stop, RIOMAGGIORE, you will have some free time to explore the striking seaside town surrounding a small, natural port. Before heading back to Florence, enjoy the views of the late afternoon sun shining through the brightly colored homes.
An unmissable excursion where pastel colored houses, blue cobalt sea, and panoramic views are your travel companions
