The trip "Portofino And The Cinque Terre" starts in Genoa and ends in Cinque Terre and Liguria. It is a walking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Levanto, Deiva Marina, Cinque Terre and Liguria and 11 other destinations in Italy. "Portofino And The Cinque Terre" is a self-guided private trip that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Venture beyond the colourful villages of the Cinque Terre and discover the Portofino Peninsula. Italy's Cinque Terre, a series of five small fishing villages dug into the cliffs where the Apennine Mountains meet the Mediterranean coastline, is one of the country's most spectacular sections of coast. This trip provides you with the opportunity to follow the entire coast, from the Portofino peninsula to the colourful town of Portovenere in the south, which will allow you to experience the five famed villages, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, as well as the chance to get away from the busier villages to encounter the delights of the lesser known Camogli, Bonassola, Deiva Marina, Framura and Levanto. Following well marked footpaths and mule tracks, each day your walks along the coastal footpaths of the Ligurian Riviera will entertain you with panoramic vistas of the emerald blue Mediterranean Sea, views of lush vineyards and olive groves while inland there are dense pine and chestnut forests waiting to be discovered. Of course, there are also scenic vantage points to admire the colourful villages that make this part of Italy so popular with travellers.
