Winding through this spectacular stretch of coastline are the Five Villages, picturesque seaside towns under a backdrop of sweeping mountain vistas. Nicknamed Lover’s Lane, much of this path was once a meeting place for lovers from the two villages, Riomaggiore and Manarola.

Over four days, you’ll trek along the coastline overlooking the rugged cliffs and turquoise waters, stopping briefly at each village to explore and soak in the atmosphere. Marvel at the medieval architecture of Porto Venere, discover some of Liguria’s hidden gems and immerse yourself in a region that has inspired poets and artists from around the world with its timeless charm.
