These characteristic villages are famous for their breath-taking sea-views, their unique architecture and enchanting landscape.

Manarola is the second fishing village you meet on the coast coming from the south. It is nestled in the rock in front of the sea and its steep streets going up between the tall and narrow houses, each one coloured with different cheerful shades, climb on both sides of the small port and always hiding little secrets. Once you reach the top you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea and the village.
