The Fantastic Five

For those of you who have not heard of Cinque Terre, then here is the breakdown. It is small stretch on the North-Eastern coast of Italy consisting of five towns, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manorla, and Riomaggiore. As you will see from the pictures below, all the towns are impossibly situated on cliffs, rocks and gorgeous beaches. Cinque Terre has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. It is definitely worth a visit, but make sure you bring a good pair of shoes to hike through the all five towns.
