Welcome to Liguria...
Liguria is a region dominated by earth and sea, with Mediterranean vegetation rich in natural parks and maritimes areas protected with villages where time seems to have stopped for ages.
The Cinque Terre, part of the Unesco World Heritage are five little fisherman villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, enclosed all along the coastline which drops sheer into the sea. One can make walks in the villages, like the famous "Via dell?Amore", which offers beautiful landscapes. The village of Portofino, elegant and exclusive, has conserved his ancient atmosphere made of maritime traditions and local crafts. The coloured houses around the famous "Piazzetta", the walk to the lighthouse and the paths that climb the mount give to the village an undeniable charm.
Genes, city of art, can be discovered by walking around the alleys that hide real treasures.
For centuries, it has been a main city with maritime traffic of the Mediterranean and is nowadays a city of art and culture with museums, churches and palaces.
