From La Spezia : boat trip in Cinque Terre, with free time ashore

ezia, where you'll set sail towards the western coast of the Gulf of Poets. Along the way, you'll admire the stunning coastal scenery and the charming fishing villages that dot this spectacular inlet. As you continue towards Portovenere, you'll pass through Le Bocche, the evocative strait between the village and the wild Palmaria Island. Here, you'll be captivated by the majestic Romanesque church of Saint Peter, dramatically perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. Sailing along the rugged coastline, you'll discover pristine coves such as Le Rosse, Monesteroli, and Punta Pineda. From Punta Pineda, one of the most scenic stretches of the journey begins: one by one, the five enchanting villages of Cinque Terre—Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare—will appear before you, creating an unforgettable panorama of colorful houses clinging to the cliffs. Upon arriving in Monterosso, the liveliest of the five villages, you'll have the opportunity to step ashore. We highly recommend indulging in some local delicacies, such as fresh focaccia with anchovies or a delicious artisan gelato. If you wish, you can also take a refreshing swim in the pristine waters of the Cinque Terre National Park, before sailing back to La Spezia.
