Enjoying the Sea of Cinque Terre

One last stroll in Manarola: through the tiny streets in the village, you will get to this viewpoint where - once more - you'll have a breathtaking view of the ocean around as well as the village from the coast.
After this stroll, you will leave the village now and head towards Riomaggiore!

This hiking path connecting Manarola to Riomaggiore is passing on the hills - a little further away from the coast - this means: you're going to be surrounded by green bushes which will let you spot the blue of the water once in a while.

Absolutely mandatory stop of your Cinque Terre trip: you can now experience the landscape you've always seen in pictures. This tiny little marine harbor is still in use by fishermen and delivers a wonderful landscape of colorful buildings packed one next to the other all the way up the hills.
Take your time to walk around and enjoy the small boutiques and shops around, as well as some delicious ice cream places.

One fast last meal for this trip. From the tiny terrace of this restaurant you'll admire the harbor and the colorful tiny boats.
Then menu is - as you might have expected - offering classical seafood dishes and more revisited ones.
In this Michelin Guide restaurant booking might be needed. Please check for contacts on the website.

After having walked the past few days and having visited the villages of Cinque Terre - you will spend this last afternoon at the beach recharging batteries, sunbathing and diving into the clear waters of Mar Ligure - you've deserved that!

Time to leave Riomaggiore and head back to Manarola. As for the day before - the best way is by train.
Depending on the season, trains are running often and regularly and different offers are possible. You can find more info on this landing page.

From the train station, the parking where you left your car is only a few hundred meters away.

Time to pack your car and head back to Genoa - your stay on the eastern Riviera is over and now a bit less than 2-hour drive, and you will be back to your starting location.

On your way back home, you might stop for a pizza before entering the highway: this pizzeria offers a variety of them.
Open Hours: Monday - Sunday: 19:00 - 23:00
