Approximately 60km from Santa Margherita is one of the most striking areas of the Ligurian region, immortalised by the Italian writer Montale in his poetry.
The five coastal towns, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore are all connected by the footpath known as ‘Via dell’Amore’ or ‘Lovers’ way’, which runs along the coast line looking out over the sea.
