I love Cinque Terre, all aspects of it. I love the villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. I love the sound and smell of the Ligurian Sea along the hiking trails, i sentieri. And during summer, I love swimming in it, from the rocks or from the beaches of Vernazza and Monterosso! And of course, I love the food - the pesto for which Cinque Terre is as famous as it is for the fresh seafood and the Cinque Terre DOC wines, including the special dessert wine, sciacchetrà. And of course, best of all, I love the locals.
With this website, I hope to share this love with you. If you have been there, be sure to share your thoughts on the blog. http://blog.experiencecinqueterre.com/

Suggestions to make your trip even better and more fun:
Take a great camera such as Canon Powershot G11
Make sure that you have the right supplies for comfortable and safe travel:
If you can communicate at least a little bit in Italian, you will have unique experiences, far beyond what you will have by communicating in English. You can be a participant, and not just a spectator.
The TellMeMore program is the global leader in language learning software. As well as the usual, there are 2 additional features that make it a stand-out - cutting edge voice recognition to help with pronunciation and combination of 2000 hours of instruction with more than 10,000 exercises. Speaking from personal experience, exercises make a huge difference between knowing the language and being able to actually use it.
Research other things that you want to do while in Italy
While I offer authentic experiences for 4 -6 people (Cinque Terre and the rest of Italy) Select Italy is a resource for other needs such as museum tickets, Italian goods, music tickets and tours for larger groups. Visiting Select Italy could be helpful just for additional ideas.
Pack Light !!
One way to lighten you load is to pack a Kindle instead of heavy books:
