The Cinque Terre in Liguria are the towns of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, some of which you can see in the photos here.
They are one of the most beautiful areas in the mediterranean, uncontaminated for the inaccessibility, despite the tourism.
Building projects have been limited, given the lack of space between the sea and the mountains, meaning that the area is now a unique landscape in Italy, of panoramic sea views, terraced gardens and vineyards.
Perhaps the most famous wine from the Cinque Terre is the sweet wine Sciacchetrà.
While the Cinque Terre are famous in Italy as a national park, they are also on the UNESCO heritage list.
