Details
Embark on an unforgettable trip to one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites! With our boat trip to Riomaggiore or Porto Venere, followed by Monterosso and Vernazza, you will enjoy an adventurous day along the Cinque Terre. Depending on the date you book, you can choose between Porto Venere or Riomaggiore as part of your itinerary. Leaving from La Spezia, we will cross all the Golfo dei Poeti, a fascinating bay so-called because of the presence of famous English poets in the 19th century.
If you choose Porto Venere as part of your itinerary, once we arrive in Porto Venere, we will stop here for 2 hours. You will then have the opportunity to discover this world-famous fishing village without haste. We will visit the Church of San Pietro and the Church of San Lorenzo and, climbing a little, we will arrive at a panoramic point. You will then have some free time to walk around or enjoy a typical lunch.
If you choose Riomaggiore instead, once we arrive in Riomaggiore, you will be immediately charmed by its pastel colours. We will see the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the oldest in the Cinque Terre, and climb up to the perched part of the village. We will stay here for about 2 hours, and you will have free time before setting off again.
Our next stop for both of the above options will be Monterosso, where we will visit the medieval city centre, and you will have time to enjoy the amazing Fegina beach, the biggest and most beautiful in this area. After this 2-hour stop, we will then continue in the direction of the next village, where we will stop for about 1 hour and a half.
Already from the sea you can admire the bright colours that characterize Vernazza. Ashore we will visit the bay, the church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, the most famous of the Cinque Terre, and the whole perched part of the village. Before returning to La Spezia, you will have some free time.
