Full description
Cinque Terre and a day's sailing to discover them!
Set sail from La Spezia with our skipper and dive into the clear waters of the Portovenere Marine Park: admire the cliffs of the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto and enjoy the picturesque views of Liguria's most beautiful villages.
A 7-hour tour, enhanced by a lunch of Ligurian focaccia and typical products!
What we will do
We will meet 15 minutes before 10 a. m. at the meeting point in La Spezia (SP) . Once all participants have boarded the sailboat, we will cast off our moorings and be ready to set sail!
We will sail within the Gulf of Poets in the direction of Portovenere, admiring the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. We will pass through the channel enclosed between the harbour itself and the island of Palmaria and admire the spectacle that surrounds us, with the picturesque facades of the village houses and the ancient Gothic church of San Pietro.
We will then see the Doria Castle and proceed along the coast to the marine protected area of the Cinque Terre. We will pass through the villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, which peep out from the rocky coastline.
During the course of the navigation, there will be a couple of bathroom stops, one before lunch and one at the end of the trip, before returning. Between stops, the more curious and enterprising passengers can ask the skipper to try to steer the boat for short distances.
Lunch, included in the excursion price, is based on local products, including focaccia, anchovies, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. To drink, wine or prosecco, beer and soft drinks will be provided.
The return to La Spezia is scheduled at about 17: 00, for a total duration of 7 hours.
