Details
Come aboard our elegant gozzo and cruise off to explore the breathtaking sights awaiting you along the enchanting Ligurian Riviera! During our esclusive boat trip from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre, we will immerse ourselves in an evocative and timeless scenery that can offer unique emotions.
Departing from La Spezia, we will cross the Gulf of Poets towards Porto Venere Canal, a strait dividing Palmaria Island from the mainland. Here we will admire Porto Venere and the imposing Church of San Pietro that rises majestically above the sea. Leaving the gulf, we will navigate along the coast to admire the splendid panorama of caves and hidden inlets. We will see the famous Byron's Grotto and then continue to the Cinque Terre, where you can dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Ligurian Sea. During the trip, you will decide where to stop to admire the landscape at its best.
Our initial destination will be the village of Riomaggiore, the oldest among the Cinque Terre. With its narrow streets and colourful houses, it winds its way through the hills, creating a charming and picturesque atmosphere. Next, we will reach the village of Manarola, famous for its terraced vineyards that produce the prized Sciacchetrà wine. We will also navigate past Corniglia and Vernazza, with its characteristic bay dominated by the tower of the Doria Castle. We will then head to Monterosso al Mare, the most populous of the Cinque Terre! Our excursion will end with the return trip to the port of La Spezia, but not before enjoying a delicious apéritif based on typical local products.
