Italy
Manarola, Monterosso al Mare en Riomaggiore
Geniet van een dag van ontspanning en verkenning van de oude steden, nog een laatste dag te voet
Explore Manarola in the early morning
Manarola is one of the prettiest towns but also one of the busiest. From 11am tour groups usually start to arrive and it can get really crowded. So the best way to enjoy this little gem is by exploring it in the early morning. And while you’re here make sure to stop by Gelateria Cinque Terre in the beginning of the main street to enjoy some vegan and gluten free ice cream, pancakes or shakes.
Hit the beach at Monterosso al Mare
The best, and pretty much only beach in Cinque Terre can be found at Monterosso al Mare. The private beach (orange with green umbrella’s) opens up around 9am but make sure to reserve your seat from before and prepare to pay a decent amount of money. A little further back you’ll find blue & white umbrella’s and these you don’t have to make a reservation from before. Also the people that work here are way nice than those at the private beach! In 2020 a sun bed costs an average of 7 euro/day (5 euro for a half day). For 2 sun beds + an umbrella you’ll pay 20-25 euro/day (10-15 euro for a half day)
Indulge in Italian gelato at Riomaggiore during sunset
What better way to end this trip than by indulging in some Italian gelato and enjoying one more sunset in Riomaggiore!
