Boating Around the Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore & Monterosso

From Portovenere, we went one stop north to Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the five Cinque Terre towns.

But first, HOW DO PEOPLE GET TO THESE HOUSES? Located between Portovenere and Riomaggiore with no road to them in sight. Discuss.

At the Riomaggiore beach (the beach is all rock)...babies floating in the Med (yellow hat & red baby floatie)


Off to Monterosso, the northernmost of the Cinque Terre towns


Passing Manarola


Passing Corniglia


Arriving in Monterosso - Old Monterosso is to the right of the fort jutting out and New Monterosso is to the left.


Old Monterosso


We found a boat with a Maryland flag - what?!


From Monterosso, you can see the other four Cinque Terre towns.





I realize now that I didn't take a lot of pictures (no more than the ones you see actually) of Monterosso, but that's because I was busy eating like the best focaccia ever. Apologies.

Last stop: Vernazza
