Cinque Terre...We Will Be Back
Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. In each of the 5 towns, colorful houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces, harbors are filled with fishing boats and trattorias turn out seafood specialties along with the Liguria region’s famous sauce, pesto. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the villages and offers sweeping sea vistas.
If you have a chance to go to Italy and you like hiking, don't think twice, you have to go. The only thing we regret is to not have spent more time here to walk along the whole Sentiero Azzurro.
We Stayed in Riomaggilio
This is the road leading to our Airbnb
The place we stayed at used to be a wine cellar...it was quaint and charming. The village was so calm and almost everything was closed down because we came in the low season. So considering everything, the next time we go to Europe we might consider September as a better time.

Conclusion
Props to @annester for doing the hard work of editing. I hope you enjoy the photos and the journey I'm sharing with you. Europe is such a beautiful place and I'm looking forward to spend more time to discover more of it's secrets.
I love narrow and cozy streets. I always wanted to get here. Wonderful pictures!
Great photos!
Cinque terre is worst at high season due to huge tourist population so it might be a good thing for you to see it now :)
I went there at may - there were so many people you cannot even walk or find a place has free tables to eat.
Also checkout Portofino since you’re near to it :)
Wow it's really cool. very beautiful place in the world as well
@cryptoctopus, hope you know that there are five main villages that make up the zone namely Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso al Mare
the Cinque Terre is located just north of the Tuscan border and takes about three hours to get to on the train from either Florence (to the south) or Milan (to the north).
The Cinque Terre is actually a national park, a protected waterway and a Unesco World Heritage site. Most vehicle traffic is restricted inside the villages. This explains why the area is preserved so well
wow, do we see comment plagiarism now? people get more creative day by day.
Yep, kinda sad. It makes it much less fun to browse through comments if people just copy paste the first thing they find, just in order to be the first to say something under a post from a whale. Maybe an idea to give the author the right to remove comments on their posts. Maybe even banning from commenting on them on next posts.
That might improve the quality and give an insentive to write down something meaningful.
Yeah, generic comments used to be short and easy to avoid, but now we have to read those long pieces and then google them to find out if they're the result of a creative process or a copy of the result of a creative process.
This place is like a dream OMG!! The water is so friggin blue!! And those houses seem like they were not built, the simply grew there....Amazing!!
Looks like a fun trip. Those colours are beautiful. Glad your out having fun.
I quite agree with you @intrepidphotos. really beautiful.
you sure did have fun @cryptooctopus, i would have taught the pictures to be a drawing due to how the colours blended, the environment looking so calm.
This is such a great place, i only wonder how it would be inn September.
Vacation will definitely be awesome here
Its sure a fun trip @intrepidphotos, you actually need to be there to understand how beautiful it is.
The Cinque Terre is a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997, Its made up of five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.
In Riomaggiore, you can stay at a lovely sea-view property with incredible views from your own private patio at Christina and Alessandro’s place,The Cinque Terre is set amid some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet, these five ingeniously constructed fishing villages can bolster the most jaded of spirits

Italy is a country I must never miss visiting in my lifetime. Thanks for sharing this piece. I particularly enjoyed viewing the pictures. That country is just so beautiful. I can bet you had a nice tour.
I do agree with you.. This is one of the place to be
These pictures are amazing. After reading Tim Ferris 4 hour work week I really believe the best way to travel if you can get away with it is months at a time instead of a week two. Hoping for more photos of the vacation soon?
Excellent photos, my friend and very interesting to get acquainted with these places, as this is an unusual sight to build houses among the rocks. I did not even think that this is possible, these streets and houses are just embedded in rocks and it seems that this is a continuation of the rock. Thank you @cryptoctopus for the pleasure to see this and expect from you some interesting photos about Italy!
OMG, what a beautiful place and I loved the water color, so clean. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
@cryptoctopus,
I never visited Europe before! One of my cousin brother is living at Italy! Hope I will go there in next year (As you said September) and I will not forget to visit these places! What a great scenery and vivid colors of houses! Yeah like a charming place! I assure 3 days is not enough to explorer and experience those wonderful nature and scenery! Amazing photography friend!
Cheers~
