Colorful Dreams and Coastal Vibes in Cinque Terre

#summervacay Exploring Cinque Terre in Liguria was like hopping into a painting. These five little villages, each with their own charm, are perched right on the cliffs above the sea, and the colors are just insane. I started in Riomaggiore and made my way through, hopping on the train and walking bits of the trail. Super chill but also gave me that "wow" feeling every time I turned a corner. Vernazza was probably my fave. It’s got that perfect mix of cute cafes, turquoise water, and tiny boats bobbing around. Had a gelato there that basically changed my life. Monterosso has more of a beach vibe, which was great for just kicking back for a bit. If you're into hiking, the trails between the towns are stunning but bring good shoes and water, it can get real sweaty. Also, go early if you don’t want crowds. Cinque Terre totally lived up to the hype. Just pure Italian coastal magic in every direction.
