Cruise to the Cinque Terre
Departing from La Spezia, we will sail across the Gulf of the Poets towards Portovenere. Here we will cruise past this stunnning and historic village, commonly known as the “sixth village of the Cinque Terre” and famous for it’s unique architecture, Byon’s Grotto and the iconic St. Peter’s Chiruch perched on the rocky point that protects the entrance to the gulf.
From here, we will head up the coast enroute to the Cinque Terre. Along the way you will see the dramatic landscape and historical relics between Portovenere and Riomaggiore that are only visible by sea.
Once we enter the Cinque Terre National Park, we will explore the five villages by sea. Depending on the tour you decide on, there will also be an opportunity to get off the boat and explore one or more of these charming villages.
Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to stop and swim and snorkel in some of the pristine, protected coves along the coast, and have ample time to photograph not only the most famous sights along the way, but also all the hidden gems we are eager to share with you.
After having some time to relax on the boat with good music, we will then return to La Spezia.
* water, beer and wine will be at your disposal during the tour.
