Description
The Cinque Terre in Italy is known for its beautiful hiking trails and on the trail from Vernazza this is one of your first views of the next town to the south, Corniglia (pronounced like Cornelia). Perched high above the sea, Corniglia is surrounded on three sides by many picturesque vineyards and terraces, while the fourth side hurtles steeply down to the Ligurian sea below. Corniglia is considered to be the "quiet" town since it doesn't have the glamor of an accessible beach front. Cinque Terre is a string of five centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline in the Liguria region of Italy. Of the five, Corniglia is the middle one. In each of the five towns of the region, colorful houses and ancient vineyards cling to steep terraces and fishing boats bob in harbors. The five towns are a hikers tourism resort paradise. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cinque Terre isn't undiscovered, but sometimes you can find a bit of calm in the touristic storm!
