The 5 Terre are those small fishing villages located between Levanto and La Spezia within the 5 Terre National Park ; question of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.

Here it all: colorful houses attached to each other, small squares with a few trees, colorful boats scattered, narrow lanes with steep stairs that climb the hills covered with olive groves, vines and lemon trees, overlooking the Ligurian Sea trails . the value of these places is that they are been free to the wild speculation of the Italian coast, still retaining the old time flavors of the Mediterranean. Practically in these villages most of the streets are closed to traffic and the only links to move from village to village are the railroad or the paths. Today the 5 Terre is one of the main tourist destinations not only Italian, but worldwide; to cite one example, major international tourist guides include at least 2- 3 days in these places, as much as for Rome, Florence or Venice and this has created an overcrowding in the periods of greatest influx of tourists.
