 Monterosso Al Mare This is the first or the last of the five villages- depending from which end you are traveling from. Monterosso al mare is an ancient sea village located at the eastern side of the Ligurian Riviera, between the tip of the Punta Mesco and the island of Tinetto. We began our hike here.  Vernazza Vernazza is the next fishing village in the Cinque terre-- how beautiful!  Corniglia The third village on our hike and the only one situated quite above the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 meters high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards, olive and lemon trees, with the fourth side descending steeply to the sea.  Manarola It is the second smallest of the Cinque Terre, but is considered the oldest of the five villages, having a church that dates back to 1338.  Riomaggiore The last town of our hike,but not the least. We caught the boat back from here to Monterosso.
