Monesteroli

Reviewed By GiorgiaCstrg - Italy, null

Do you remeber the wolf in the Disney's movie "The sword in the stone?" Well, that's was me on my way back to the car. But Monesteroli is really worth it. The view is stunning and once you reach the end of the stair you can swim in the sea and chill. I recommend trekking in warm but not hot months; so May,early June, September & October (according to the weather) are perfect.

Pista Ciclabile Area 24 - Sanremo

Reviewed By Macduff83 - Nice, France

Great cycle path, which runs right next to the sea from Ospedaletti to San Lorenzo al Mare. Great for families and there are lots of places along the line renting bicycles and 4-seater pedal cars. Being an old railway line, it's almost completely flat and passes through tunnels along the route. It gets very busy in the summer, and the occasional 'peloton' pass along very quickly considering the amount of young kids so keep an eye out. Great restaurants in San Lorenzo, and brilliant ice creams at the gelateria in Arma di Taggia which is along the road, though the ice cream is a couple of minutes detour towards the seafront

Footpath Monterosso - Vernazza

Reviewed By CToohill - Whanganui, New Zealand

Breathtaking views from this (sometimes) challenging hike. Now there is a ticket to buy to be able to do the hike, but it means that the path is well looked after and very safe! It was a great experience! And when finally Monterosso came to sight, we had a feeling of achievement!!

Cinque Terre Trails

Reviewed By pradumana2016

Visited 3 towns out of 5 in cinque terre, Rio maggiore, Manarola and Monterosso. Drove first to Manarola from La Spezia, car park is about 1 km uphill, then have to walk to the sea, Manarola is most picturesque among the five towns, must visit, walk back upto the parking was little tiring, however the train station is very near to the sea and right at the bottom. Next was Monterosso, this is only town with a sandy beach. Parking is right next to the beach. Good for a swim. Last was Rio maggiore on way back to la spezia, walk is about 500-700 Meter from car park which is again uphill, with train station in between. Good restaurants at Rio maggiore and Manorola , specially one on the hill top at Manarola. The other two towns are more or less same and can be skipped if running short of time.

Bay of Silence

Reviewed By rogerc631 - Cleethorpes, United Kingdom

We have been visiting Sestri Levante regularly for over 40 years and the Baia Del Silenzio has to be one for the most scenic parts of the Ligurian coast - if you’re up for a healthy walk/climb then I highly recommend you go up the well-marked footpath to Punta Manara (40-odd minutes walk each way) and you will get an unforgettable view of the bay of silence.

The path starts from Sestri Levante and it offers beautifull views. It should be on the list if you're there.
