Day 5: Florence – Cinque Terre

A very day awaits you as you join our small group tour for a full day visit to Cinque Terre and Porto Venere!

Cruise across the Gulf of Poets to Porto Venere, one of the most stunning places on the coast of Italy. Picturesque fisherman’s boats docked by the beach, colorful homes and the old castle make Porto Venere one of the most beautiful villages in the country.

Boarding the boat again, sail up the Ligurian Coast as we arrive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre National Park.  Arrive to Monterosso, the largest of town of the Cinque Terre where you’ll enjoy a local dish of pesto as you please, selecting the dish that most appeals to you!  Plenty of time to shop, stroll, sit at a café or swim (don’t forget to pack your bathing suit!).

To continue the day, you may wish to join an optional 45 minute hike through the stunning mainland and coastline to see the scenery from a unique perspective as your hike leader takes you past vineyards and ancient olive groves.  If you prefer not to hike, you’ll have extra time in charming Monterosso.

An exciting day awaits you as you join our small group for a full day tour to Capri and Anacapri. Depart Sorrento via fast jet ferry to Capri.
