Cinque Terre by Boat

Cinque Terre by boat is a wonderful way to enjoy one of the world's most beautiful coastlines. The Liguria coast, the Italian Riviera, travel from Monterrosso or Levanto in the North to Portovenere at the Southern point and entrance to the Gulf of Poets (i gulfo di poeti) to treat yourself to a relaxing and gorgeous time.

The boat ride is about 20 euros and you may hop off at any or all of the five (Cinque) little towns (terre) during your day journey. Do leave some time to get all the way down to Portovenere to see what is a spectacular entrance between rock cliffs, ancient forts, and even Lord Byron's cove, into the port of Portovenere.

The colors in the water, from midnight blue to torquoise, the colors on the mountains, and the pine tress sprouting out of the rocky cliffs all the way into the ocean is a magical scene only to be experienced when traveling in Italy to the Liguria Coast.
