  • Day 1

    Levanto

    Begin your Cinque Terre journey in Levanto, a coastal town known for its vibrant orange and yellow buildings and welcoming beach. "Levanto is an ideal base - less touristy than the five villages but with easy train access and better dining options," according to a recent visitor.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Cinque Terre Villages

    Start with the challenging hike from Levanto to Monterosso. This 3-hour trek requires good hiking shoes and plenty of water, especially near the steep Punta Mesco section. After lunch, take a bike ride on the converted railway path to Framura. The next morning, catch an early train to Riomaggiore before 9 AM to beat the crowds. Follow the coastal trail through all five villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. Keep in mind that landslides might affect some trail sections. The stretch from Volastra to Corniglia offers incredible views but includes some steep climbs.

    
  • Day 4

    Portovenere

    Set out early for the challenging 6-7 hour hike to Portovenere. Pack plenty of snacks since shops are limited along the route. The Madonna di Montenero section is steep but rewards you with spectacular views. Take the public boat back to Levanto for a different view of the coast.

    
  • Day 5

    Transfer to Santa Margherita

    You can either walk the "Wild West Walk" through Bonassola and Framura (4-5 hours) or take the train to Santa Margherita. The red rocks of Framura make great photo spots. Watch your step after rain the coastal path can get slippery.

    
  • Day 6

    Portofino Peninsula

    Explore Santa Margherita's historic center in the morning before hiking to Portofino (1.5 hours). In the afternoon, go kayaking along the Portofino headland. A previous visitor shared: "Kayaking gave us a completely different view of the coast - seeing the colorful villages from the water was magical. The late afternoon light was perfect for photos."

    
  • Day 7

    Optional Activities

    Spend the day relaxing in Santa Margherita or hike to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso. If hiking, leave early from Ruta to avoid midday heat. Cool off with a boat ride from San Fruttuoso to Camogli.

    
  • Day 8

    Departure

    Your trip ends in Santa Margherita. Book afternoon trains to squeeze in a final morning swim or walk.
