Cinque Terre is one of those places where even if you’re not familiar with the name, then you’ve probably seen pictures of incredible pink, yellow, orange and green houses clinging to the cliffs. The adorable houses not only defy gravity but lend a peaceful, calm vibe to these otherworldly towns. Four of the five towns have direct access to the sea so this means some quality swim time. Whether you’re wandering the narrow streets, tasting the region’s delicacies, having a photoshoot with your squad on the coast or helping locals in the vineyards, Cinque Terre has something for every imagination.

Riomaggiore: Riomaggiore is the most relaxed of the 5 towns and was originally home to one section of the Via Dell’Amore (The Walk of Love). Unfortunately major landslides and flooding in 2011 wiped out much of the path however you can get a more authentic experience taking a dirt track over the mountain, meandering through vineyards on your way to Manarola.
