Vernazza’s traditions
Yes, some Vernazza’s traditions might look a bit crazy… Vernazza is world-famous for its beauty, for being a UNESCO site within the Cinque Terre, its wine, and its cozy colorful restaurants on the main square.

Corniglia, the special one in Cinque Terre
Yes, the village of Corniglia is just different. It’s perched on a steep hill and inaccessible, and from the sea, it looks like a tiny wonderland. It is the third village of Cinque Terre and the only one without docking for boats and Cinque Terre ferry, and probably this detail, far from harming […]
