Discover the beautiful peninsulas of Portofino and Sestri Levante
Make your way to Sestri Levante. Your B&B, Albergo Marina, is centrally located in Sestri Levante, is perfectly located, within easy walking distance of both the beach and the railway station.
The walk today really allows you to explore the National Park of the Cinque Terre. Starting from Monterosso, the largest of the celebrated Cinque Terre villages, climb through cultivated olive groves to the hilltop Sanctuary of the Madonna of Soviore. Then it's downhill all the way to pastel-coloured Vernazza, clustered around its serene natural harbour. There's time to explore the village before returning by train to Sestri.

Make your way to Portovenere then take a boat to Palmaria island. Rich in Mediterranean vegetation and maquis shrubland, it's not unusual to see cistus and rare orchids blooming here. A circular walk with stunning coastal vistas takes you via a steep climb to the Batteria Semaforo, part of the network of fortresses constructed by Napoleon to secure the Gulf of La Spezia. Return to Sestri Levante in time for dinner.

Take a train to picture perfect Corniglia, a charming jumble of pastel-hued houses toppling prettily down the hillside. Follow the narrow herb scented paths through vineyards up to the tiny yet panoramic village of Volastra and its 12th century sanctuary, then descend to arguably the oldest of the five Cinque Terre villages, colourful Manarola. Wander around the pretty marina and try the local wine - Schiacchetra - which is produced here, before taking the train back to Sestri Levante.

Today you take a train to Riomaggiore, the last of the Cinque Terre villages and walk along an impossibly panoramic path that hugs the coastline all the way to the charming fishing port of Portovenere. Set in a beautiful sweeping bay, and once the haunt of Byron and Shelley, there's a 16th century castle and medieval churches to explore before returning to Sestri Levante. Dinner tonight is included.

Follow ancient forest trails through the lush Mount Portofinla Natural Park to San Fruttuoso and its 11th century abbey. Continue to chic Portofino, the Ligurian Riviera's most exclusive resort, before returning via Santa Magherita Ligure for your last night in Sestri Levante.

5 days optional centre-based walking, low altitude throughout.
This is a self-guided tour, so you can walk at your own pace (we recommend
taking plenty of time to rest and enjoy the views!). Although some walks will
get your pulse racing you will also have plenty of time to rest, admire the
views and on many days you can also enjoy swim breaks. Over the course of the
week, the terrain and type of path will vary from man made paved tracks and
tarmac to forest trails. Some areas may be rocky underfoot with narrow,
overgrown or exposed paths. Although the walks are not technically
challenging, you do need to be steady on your feet. All walks take between 2
and 6 hours including lunch stops and require a moderate level of fitness.
Please note that, as on all of our walking trips, when the weather is wet
some of the paths can be slippy. The steep sections on Palmaria Island have
ropes to help with this.
Public transport is recommended (the cost is not included in the trip) in
order to reduce your carbon footprint. The transport timetables will be
provided in your route notes so you can choose the bus or train time that
suits you best.
As this is a self-guided tour, there will be no group or tour leader and you
are free to complete the walks at your own speed.
