We were able to visit 4 of the 5 villages that make up this quaint area.Taking the train from La Spezia our first stop was Monterosso. We had lunch a little beach side restaurant. Pasta because when in Italy... From there we made our backwards stopping at Vernazza where it was a short walk down to the water from the station and the first taste of the iconic fishing village vista that is synonymous with Cinque Terre. Before moving on to Manarola and finally Riomaggiore where we were able to catch the start of a beautiful sunset.There was a lot to fit in one day especially with the lengthy distance to Florence but it was worth every minute.I would definitely look to stay in or near the villages if I were to visit again. The hiking trail across the 5 villages looks very intriguing."Monterosso Al Mare891m from downtown Monterosso Al MareTerraced FieldsUNESCO World Heritage - Cultural SitesVillagesFeatured in Best Things to DoHighlights: The Cinque Terre is located on the coast of the La Spezia province in the Liguria region of Italy.

Everything is very close, you have so many chances to meet celebrities, politicians in cafes or restaurants.but if you are not ready to pay 2000€ for one night in hotel, you could visit the island just with day trip by boat"Anacapri706m from downtown AnacapriIslands/PeninsulasFeatured in Best Things to DoHighlights: The island of Capri is located near the southern estuary of the Bay of Naples, facing the Sorrento peninsula. This small island is the epitome of Mediterranean style. The blue waters, lush vegetation, exquisite holiday cottages and gardens, ancient Roman ruins, etc. make it one of the most popular holiday destinations in Italy. Every June-9 Month is the peak tourist season in Capri, and tourists come in droves and it is very lively. If you like cleanliness, you can choose to go in the off-season, where the climate is very mild all year round. Transportation The island of Capri is not big, but it is dominated by mountain roads, and walking is more physically consuming. If you want to visit easily, it is a good way to take a bus. In addition, all ferries and yachts stop at Marina Grande, a transport hub northeast of Capri, where buses to most attractions also leave. The Blue Hole Capri is divided into two parts: Capri in the east and Anacapri in the west. The famous Blue Hole (Grotta Azzurra) is located in Annacapri and is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The entrance of the Blue Hole is on the sea under the cliff. Spacious. The sun shines into the cave, and after the refraction of the white sand at the bottom of the cave, a pool of sea water is crystal blue, and even the four walls of the cave are blue, so it is called the blue cave. When visiting the Blue Hole, choose a day with clear weather and calm waves. The Blue Hole will be closed for visiting when the wind and waves are strong in winter. A good season to visit the Blue Cave is when autumn and winter are handed over, preferably 11:00-14:00. After visiting the Blue Grotto in Anacapri, you can take the bus to Anacapri (Anacapri), stroll on ViaG.Orlandi Street, and take the cable car to Monte Solaro (MonteSolaro) on Victoria Square.

- 5.14.6/513 reviewsFree"After a 3-hour drive from Palermo West, we arrived at Agrigento. In addition to the famous Temple Valley Turkish Steps, Agrigento is also a network red spot that cannot be missed. People who come to check in due to inconvenient transportation are mostly self-driving. There are many reefs near the beach and Most people who are not suitable for swimming and sunbathing are not very good. The straight line along the beach is not as white as an iceberg. The cliffs towering in the sea are like steps. Therefore, the famous ladder entrance has set up a fine notice board to ignore the warning and force the ladder. The maximum penalty for people is 417 euros. With this shock shot, the Turkish ladder is much cleaner. I will slip to the bottom of the ladder after punching a card on the dense and gentle beach. I took a selfie. Two selfies were not caught. I earned it. There is a white stone cliff. The color of the reflected sea water is transparent cream and green sea breeze. I have experienced the beauty of the Turkish ladder. ～"Realmonte2.3 km from downtown RealmonteBeachesHighlights: The Turkish Steps is a beach 15 kilometers away from Agrigento (Agrigento) on the west coast of Sicily. There are strange white stone cliffs that cannot be seen elsewhere. The beach is famous for its different cliff colors, like steps. fame spread. Many people's impressions of it come from the Italian movie "The Beautiful Sicilian Legend", but only by stepping on this land can you truly feel its infinite charm.Show Less

Blue hole is a limestone terrain, a sea erosion hole, the hole is under the cliff, the hole is very small, the sea surface is only 85 cm high, so you can only swim or take a boat to enter on a calm and sunny day. The blue hole is called the "blue hole" because the sun shines from the narrow hole into the spacious hole, and the blue water reflected through the hole makes the entire sea erosion hole appear a beautiful crystal blue."Metropolitan City of Naples39.4 km from downtown Metropolitan City of NaplesCavesBoat ToursHighlights: The Blue Hole is a well-known attraction in Capri, and it is not an exaggeration to say that many people go to Capri for the purpose of the Blue Hole. Due to the special structure of the entrance of the cave, the seawater in the cave is crystal blue. The sea water on the surface of the blue hole is dark blue, while the deep sea water is sky blue, and the rocks in the cave are also blue. When the weather is fine, the blue hole is extraordinarily beautiful and enchanting.Show Less - 4.74.7/518 reviewsFree5966 review"In the evening, I made a cable car from the town to the beach to watch Bella Island. It is a protected island and will not let tourists approach it. The island cannot go to the island. Although it can really be reached on foot, the light is not very good at night, and it will be colder and windy."Taormina1.4 km from downtown TaorminaIslands/PeninsulasHighlights: Located near Taormina's beautiful beaches, Isla Bella is a tiny island nestled in a spectacular canyon.
