Full description
We entrust you with a mission: to find the best pesto in the Cinque Terre.
And you can do it by taking part in our mini cruise in the Cinque Terre National Park: on board a comfortable motorboat, you will sail to discover Riomaggiore, Monterosso and Vernazza. The itinerary includes stops ashore to explore on your own (and succeed in your mission by eating in characteristic little restaurants) .
A day by sea and land, discovering this colourful corner of Liguria!
What we will do
The rendezvous is 15 minutes before 10 a. m. at the meeting point in La Spezia. Awaiting us will be the crew who will welcome us on board the motor vessel!
After boarding, we will set sail for the Cinque Terre! Sailing along Portovenere and Palmaria Island, we will reach the first stop of the day: Riomaggiore, which will welcome us with its characteristic (and colourful) fishermen's houses. We will then disembark for a stop ashore of about 1. 5 hours, during which we will have free time to explore the village on our own.
We will return on board to head to Monterosso: here too we will disembark for the shore break of about 2½ hours, continuing our exploration on our own. Monterosso boasts a stretch of beach, ideal for a dip, as well as scenic narrow streets, ideal for a stroll. This stop will provide an opportunity to have lunch in a small local restaurant or enjoy a picnic lunch by the sea (lunch not included) .
Back on board, we will venture towards Vernazza: we will disembark for a stop ashore of about 1 hour, during which we will have free time to lose ourselves in the "caruggi" of the village and take unforgettable souvenir photos of this day in the Cinque Terre!
We will finally return to the meeting point at about 18: 00. The experience will last about 8 hours in total.
