Holidays Cinque Terre Italy Cinque Terre vacation

excursions in Levanto

Easy excursions are available, by train, boat and car in the area. In the Unesco Heritage Site of the Cinque Terre, alone, car transport is not possible because on this coast line of tiny villages perched on cliff tops or hidden in the folds of the hills the roads are too difficult.
This is one of the reasons for the area's natural beauty. Visitors to the Cinque Terre are looking for precisely this and are more than satisfied by the panoramic views which open up at every step.Rail links to the Cinque Terre are made even easier by the cheap and practical special tourist tickets that are available in the hotel and around the town.There are twice daily boat excursions to the Cinque Terre and you can get to Portovenere and Portofino by car as well as by boat.
Genoa, European City of Culture in 2004, with its aquariumand its many historical monuments, is only an hour away by train or car. Luni, an ancient Roman colony and Carrara, famous from the time of Michelangelo for its white marble, both set in the hills of the Apuan Alps, are easy day trips.
