Trekking in the Cinque Terre and Bay of the Poets

Walking is often the best way to reach the most iconic places of the Cinque Terre, the Bay of the Poets and the hinterland. Along the paths and muletracks used in the past to harvest the wine grapes or to connect the villages today it is possible to walk, wonder at the views and grasp the shades of natural beauty hidden to those who don’t put their legs in motion.

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis Es war unbeschreiblich toll und absolut zu empfehlen. Sehr nette Crew, toller Ausflug an unglaublich schöne Buchten, die nur über das Wasser zu erreichen sind. Man hatte genügend Zeit zwischendurch zu Schwimmen und gemeinsam leckere Snacks zu genießen. Wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind, werden wir wieder buchen. Meine Töchter (15 und 14) und ich kamen auch ohne vorherige Erfahrung gut zurecht.

Un esperienza meravigliosa Un esperienza pazzesca, non solo ci siamo divertiti ma abbiamo scoperto un angolo di paradiso fra cale e calette, acque trasparenti e paesaggi mozzafiato. Inoltre Francesca è una persona fantastica, super informata sul suo territorio e gentilissima, ci ha accolto nella sua barchetta e subito ci ha fatto sentire a nostro agio. Un esperienza indimenticabile che raccomando a tutti!

Una emozione indimenticabile Posto incantevole, vista sul borgo di Portovenere e sul mare, luci e profumi indimenticabili. Il giardino, la simpatia di Rosanna, la sua pazienza nel spiegarci tutti i segreti per fare il pesto sono esperienze che consiglio a tutti. I gesti antichi tramandati da madre a figlia sono un patrimonio che dovremmo custodire con cura. Quando penseremo a questa vacanza ci verrà subito in mente il sorriso di Rosanna e i profumi del pesto appena fatto.

Bello!! Da consigliare Giro stupendo nelle cave. Suggestivo enrrare nelle gallerie scavate nel marmo con un fuoristrada. Panorami unici. Giro molto bello con conclusione nel borgo di colonnato per degustare il famoso lardo

Il Mare nel piatto!! Ci siamo voluti prendere un giorno di pausa in questo Luglio torrido..scappare letteralmente dalla terra rovente! Eh abbiamo fatto bene!! ..ci siamo fatti coccolare per una giornata intera da "Maragià" e il suo team. Siamo stati a giro nel fantastico arcipelago di Portovenere che visto dal mare fa stupire ancor di piú. Ma questo luogo lo abbiamo anche assaggiato eh si!! Perché pranzando a bordo abbiamo potuto sentire il sapore del luogo coi piatti preparati con i pesci appena pescati. Una cucina veramente fantastica ..quando si dice ho sentito il gusto del mare nel piatto!!Grazie!!

Totally recommended, both Poetessa and the bay of the Poets Poetessa is a beuaiful boat and the tour is led with grace and knowledge about the Gulf of the Poets. The area was a total surprise for me and my my family (and dog), we hoped to go to the Cinque Terre but it was not possible as motor boats cannot enter the Cinque Terre Park. Yet the Portovenere and Lerici and La Spezia sea is absolutely worth, with so many possibilities to jump in the water and relax on the many small deserted beaches. And Poetessa takes you to the best ones. Totally recommended.

Things to know about trekking in the Cinque Terre

It is essential to know that walking in the Cinque Terre should never be underestimated. Although the distance from one place to another might seem short, the paths are often steep and rough enough to make things complicated.
Never wear flip-flops or sandals when you want to do some trekking in the Cinque Terre. Most of the accidents that take place on the Cinque Terre trails are caused by visitors’ inadequate footwear. Trekking shoes, or at least runners and sneakers, are a must, even for the shortest walk.
Some of the most spectacular trails in the Cinque Terre are sometimes closed due to landslides or heavy rains that make the routes dangerous. Some of them are accessible with a ticket. These measures have been taken after bad accidents happened to trekkers in the Cinque Terre. That’s why Cinque Terre Park informs daily on the trails’ status.
If you want to trek in the Cinque Terre, getting in touch with the Park in advance and asking about open trails is highly recommended. You should consider buying the Cinque Terre Trekking Card, which gives you access to all trails.

Off-tracks in the Cinque Terre

There are some treks that are not so popular and still give you access to some of the most beautiful views on the Cinque Terre. We have written a few stories about some of them, for example about the Levanto-Monterosso trail or how to get some peace at the Reggio sanctuary, and the locals’ favorite way to get to Portovenere. You can read more tips on some off-track in the Cinque Terre by reading our guide to the Cinque Terre and Bay of the Poets.
