The Walks of the Cinque Terre and Portofino tour starts and ends in Moneglia. The Walks of the Cinque Terre and Portofino is a Trekking tour that takes 8 days taking you through Moneglia, Italy and other destinations in Italy.

Located on a part of Italy's most beautiful coastline, nestled between the Cinque Terre and bay of Portofino, our base in the seaside town of Moneglia is a real treat for visitors. On inspirational walks through hills, woodland and coastal villages we will discover why these areas have earned names such as the Gulf of the Poets. Many of the country’s most iconic trails are situated in the region of Liguria and this trip makes a great introduction to Italy with its ample opportunities for walking, relaxing and sampling delicious food and wine.

Great Week

5 - Excellent

“This was a great holiday. Well planned out. The walks were varied - and all with beautiful views. In the evenings, Suzy took us to some great restaurants. On the walk to Portofino we stopped off at a restaurant in the hills where the tomatoes for the caprese salad were plucked off the vine next to the restaurant - fantastic. The hotel was nice, and very close to the beach. The wine tasting, with somebody who was passionate about the wines of the region, was fascinating.”

“Fantastic holiday in a beautiful part of Italy with excellent food and wine and an entertaining group of fellow walkers. I enjoyed all the walks but especially those through the forests where we didn't meet another soul.”

Walks of the Cinque Terre

3 - Average

“I had a good holiday because of the lovely people on the trip. The hotel was nice and clean. Restaurants that we went to were great with one exceptional-'Asserto'. It could have been very different. The organisation was pretty shambolic and we sort of muddled through. Many of the paths were shut and open ones were packed with other walkers.”

Itinerary Expand All

Day 1: Start Moneglia.

We begin in the charming seaside town of Moneglia. Beautifully located in the heart of a bay on the Mediterranean sea, the picture-postcard town is listed since 2012 on the 'I Borghi Più Belli d'Italia' (Most Beautiful Villages of Italy) and has been awarded the European Blue Flag every year since 1990, for its clear waters and the quality of the services offered.

Day 2: Follow the coastal trail between Moneglia and the villages of Deiva Marina and Framura.

In the morning we take the train to Deiva and start our trip with a coastal walk through holm oak forests and maquis shrubland, enjoying beautiful views en route to the typical Ligurian seaside villages of Deiva Marina and Framura, where we stop for our lunch. We then head to Bonassola to take the train back to our hotel.

Day 3: Take the train to Cinque Terre N.P; walk the stunning paths to some of Liguria's prettiest villages.

Today we will set out to visit the famous Cinque Terre (Five Lands) in the Ligurian ‘Gulf of the Poets’. This area has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Our walk begins from the famous Sentiero Azzurro Ligure (Ligurian Blue Path), which will take us through terraced vineyards and olive groves on old mule tracks, connecting the five picturesque villages. Please note that some sections of the path may be closed so we may need to take the train between villages or change the itinerary accordingly.

Day 4: Walk on the Portofino promontory and explore the world-renowned fishing village of Portofino itself.

This morning we will set out by train to Santa Margherita Ligure, a charming coastal town, where we will begin our hike to the fishing village of Portofino. Famous for its pastel-coloured houses and picturesque harbour, the town is now attracting celebrities from all over the world.

Day 5: Free day to relax, take optional walks, try kayaking or visit nearby Portovenere or Genova.

Today you will enjoy a well-earned break and perhaps spend your day relaxing at the beach. Those with more energy might like to use the opportunity for some sightseeing. Genoa, the region’s capital city, home of Christopher Columbus and the largest aquarium in Europe is not be missed. Alternatively, you could spend some time in the near town of Porto Venere, referred to being one of the stops in the "Bay of Poets" or use the day to visit the beautiful town of Lucca, located further away.

Day 6: Transfer to Rapallo by train, take the cable car up Montallegro for fantastic views and walk down to Chiavari, afternoon wine tasting.

This morning we will take a short train ride to Rapallo and the cable car up to the sanctuary of Montallegro (600 mt). From here we will set out on a walk through quiet woodland, catching glimpses of the Ligurian sea en route to the seaside town of Chiavari. In the early evening we will have the chance to enjoy the local speciality at our well-deserved wine tasting!

Day 7: Return to the Cinque Terre area for an alternative walk through glorious coastline and colourful villages.

This morning we will head back to the famous Cinque Terre to walk some of the quieter, alternative trails. The exact path you will walk will depend on local track conditions, but they are generally on higher ground than the classic Sentiero Azzuro, so offer even more spectacular views of the coastline and villages.

Day 8: End Moneglia.

Our trip ends in Moneglia, after breakfast.
