In my last post, I visited Manarola, one of the villages in Cinque Terre, but this time I'm going to post about Corniglia, which is famous for its trekking course. I was about to give up after seeing the incredibly high stairs starting from the station, but since there were so many people going up, I held my legs and went up, and there were pretty villages lined up on the hill, so it was nice to see. I found out later that there's a free van that takes you to the village when you get off at the station... If you're going to do it, take the van anyway😢 #NewYorkFlightEvent

#italytrip A day trip to Manarola in the Cinque Terre was absolutely unforgettable! 🌊 This picturesque village, with its colorful houses perched on rugged cliffs, looks like something out of a postcard. The best part? Strolling through the narrow streets and enjoying the local seafood at a cozy waterfront restaurant. The fresh seafood pasta I had was incredible, with prices around 15-20 EUR for a meal. The hike from Manarola to Corniglia along the *Via dell'Amore* offers stunning coastal views, though it can be steep. If you're up for a more relaxed day, just lounging by the harbor and watching the boats come and go is equally delightful. Don’t miss the *Manarola Lighthouse* – it’s a great spot for photos, especially at sunset. Nearby, the *Cinque Terre National Park* offers plenty of trails and scenic spots. Overall, Manarola’s charm and natural beauty made for a perfect day trip. 🏞️ #trip #Manarola #CinqueTerre #ItalianGetaway #CoastalBeauty #TravelItaly

#spring2024 You can’t reach the center of the third village of Cinque Terre by train. You have to take a shuttle bus or walk a short distance. When I arrived, there were a lot of people waiting for the bus. I checked Google and it only took more than ten minutes to walk, so I decided to walk there. Then I found that there were many beautiful flowers along the way. I also saw cactus flowers. It was the first time I saw this, and I was very surprised. #flowers #italy #cinque terre

After arriving, Cinque Terre did not give me the impression of a quiet, simple village. After the tour, this is a place where you must leave your footprints in your life. Cinque Terre is made up of five fishing villages, each with its own characteristics and highlights. 1. Monterosso The blue sky, the clear water, and the beach full of large parasols, a perfect match 👍🏻 2. Vernazza In this quiet little village, tourists can sunbathe freely on the ground. There are small shops everywhere, selling fishing village-style decorations and souvenirs. There is also the historic Church of St. Margaret of Antioch. 3. Corniglia After getting off the bus, you need to spend time walking up the long stairs into the village. As the trip time is tight, you can only pay by card at the station! 4. Manarola The highlight of the village is the colorful cottages built against the hills. There is a Roman Catholic church in the village - the Church of San Lorenzo. 5. Riomaggiore The last stop is also the village I am most looking forward to. Finally, I got a glimpse of the colorful cottages surrounding the bay, built on the cliffs like building blocks. #2018Italy Tour #World Cultural Heritage Series
