Palmaria a une forme vaguement triangulaire et sa superficie est d'un peu moins de 2 km². Son point culminant, le « sommet », culmine à 180 mètres d'altitude. La partie la plus élevée de l'île est en pente douce au nord (face à Portovenere) et à l'est (face à La Spezia). Ces pentes sont couvertes de forêts de chênes verts et de maquis méditerranéen, qui alternent avec d'anciennes terrasses. Le côté ouest de Palmaria est, quant à lui, caractérisé par des falaises vertigineuses de roche claire qui se succèdent surplombant la mer. Le seul noyau d'habitations que l'on puisse qualifier de centre habité est Terrizzo, qui compte une cinquantaine d'habitants. Sur le reste de l'île, hormis les hordes de touristes estivaux, la présence humaine est très limitée.

Parmi les nombreuses perles que la Ligurie arbore fièrement, Portovenere est l'une des plus prisées. Situé dans le golfe des Poètes, à deux pas de La Spezia et donc de la Toscane, ce pittoresque village de pêcheurs attire constamment des milliers de touristes, en toute saison.

La grotte de Byron raconte une histoire fascinante qui fascine encore aujourd'hui les touristes les plus curieux. Muse inspirante du poète anglais, la grotte marine située à Porto Venere est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Découvrons ensemble toutes les beautés et curiosités de ce lieu magique et poétique.

Manarola is a fraction of the municipality of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, and constitutes one of the Cinque Terre. It is a truly suggestive village with the typical colored Genoese houses with the roof terrace that become one with the landscape and the rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. The entire coastal area is characterized by hills of olive trees and grape plantations, and by kilometers of low walls. Manarola is also famous for its wine, one of the finest in Liguria, called Sciacchetrà.

Visiting Corniglia means opening the view to unique panoramas of the Ligurian Sea, which appears in the distance between the pastel houses and the intense blue of the sky. The town is connected by 370 steps that lead from the Corniglia train station to the historic centre. The climb is quite demanding, but equally impressive. However, if you think you can't make it, there is a bus that guarantees frequent trips both going up and down from Corniglia.

Overlooking the most authentic stretch of the Ligurian coast and perched on a rocky outcrop, Vernazza is one of the villages that cannot be missed if you decide to visit the Cinque Terre. Vernazza is a small marvel, a fortified citadel squeezed between the sea and the mountains and distributed around the small port. The pastel-coloured houses, the churches and small monuments, the carrugi and narrow alleys overlooked by shops and small shops, make the town truly breathtaking.

A bridge about 100 meters long divides Monterosso into 2 parts: on one side the residential area (Zona di Fegina) with the central station, a long beach and some hospitality businesses; on the other the Porto Vecchio, the historic center of the town crossed by the typical caruggi. Monterosso is the largest village in the Cinque Terre and is a perfect blend of history and nature. It preserves delightful churches with black and white bands, the typical Ligurian style, and the signs of past naval battles. Beautiful hiking trails start from Monterosso, such as the famous Via dell'Amore. The town's identifying symbol is the famous Giant, an original 14-metre-high statue depicting the god Neptune. Also to admire an incredible view, in an elevated position there is the Capuchin Convent, not to be missed. The remaining time of the tour will be spent transporting passengers between the attractions visited.
