Cinque Terre, located on Italy’s northern Ligurian coast, is made up of five colorful, seaside towns tucked seamlessly on the region’s cliff-side terrain. It’s not as well known for its beaches as the Amalfi Coast but still offers an abundance of awesome activities, with boat tours and hiking being the area’s main points of interest. While here, save time for the oceanfront Footpath Monterosso hike.
