Italy is such a wonderful and diverse country to visit; each region seems to have a personality all its own. For instance, Rome is an eclectic mix of ancient and modern, while Florence is a big city with a small-town feel.

I have traveled all over Italy, visiting Capri, Rome, Florence, Venice, and more, but no place has captured my attention and stolen my heart quite like Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre is made up of five villages on Italy’s Ligurian coast. Not only is the entire region a national park, but it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
