Strap on your boots and discover Cinque Terre on foot with the Sunflower Cinque Terre travel guide.
The Sunflower Cinque Terre guide is indispensable for hiking in Cinque Terre. The Italian Riviera on the Mediterranean coast between Nizza (Nice) and La Spezia has become a much loved-trekking the colourful houses of the five villages, nestled against steep terraced slopes above the blue sea and still connected by old cobbled mule trails, take the visitor back to the days when the Italian coast was still unspoilt by modern civilisation. That's why this small area has been designated as an Italian national park and a UNESCO world heritage site.
Further inland, the sparsely inhabited Apennines, which cross the whole Italian Peninsula from Liguria to Calabria, offer up a totally different landscape - a remote area of high pastures, mixed forests and barren ridges. This area has plenty of hiking trails, but it does not satisfy the expectations of visitors seeking the charm of the Mediterranean. That's why foreign visitors tend to ignore this hinterland - and why nearly all the walks in this book keep to the coast.
Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks that will ensure you have a memorable holiday in Cinque Terre.
Inside the Sunflower Cinque Terre guide book you'll find:
Area covered: The book covers the whole Riviera di Levante, from the Magra River and La Spezia in the south, via the Cinque Terre and Portofino Peninsula, to Genoa in the north. Most of the walks are by the coast, since that's where almost all visitors want to holiday, but there are a few hikes in the isolated interior.
