Cinque Terre!

Riomaggiore, Italy

Description

Beaches, Hiking, Cliff Jumping, Swimming, Kayaking, Amazing Sunsets and Views, Friendly Italian People, The Mediterranean Sea!

The Cinque Terre is described as the rugged portion of the coast of the Italian Riviera! There are 5 towns that make up Cinque Terre, Italy. We stayed in the town of Riomaggiore, which in my opinion has the most to offer and is the least touristy! Cars are not recommended here! If you are looking to go the cheap route, you can easily find a hostel! There are lots of stairs and you will be on your feet a lot! You can hike the trails from town to town or even take the train! We enjoyed hiking, swimming, cliff jumping, kayaking, eating lots of pizza, and socializing.

Hike from Camogli to San Fruttoso

You can either start in Camogli, hike to San Fruttoso and take a ferry back (like we did). Do this as an out-and-back hike. Or take the ferry to San Fruttoso and hike in the reverse to Camogli. Here is a link to the schedule, but always double check. Also, you're exposed for roughly 80% of this hike, so be prepared with water and sunblock. Starting in the heart of Camogli, you'll need to walk ...

Visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is renown worldwide for its almost four-degree tilt, the result of being built with an unstable foundation. This is perfect stop on your Italian vacation, with lots of great shops and restaurants (I had the best pizza of my life in a restaurant with a view of the tower!). The green space surrounding the tower is a great place to relax, take a few photos and people watc...

Stroll through the Boboli Gardens

Walking through Boboli was a meditative experience for me. I left more tranquil and contemplative than when I came in. By no means was I in a bad mood before, but it was only a matter of time before my walk intoxicated me with the glow that only comes from quality time in nature. It took over 400 years to build these once private gardens, and due to historical significance, they are now a UNESC...
