Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre National Park is amongst the smallest parks in Italy and, at the same time, the most densely populated, with approximately 4.000 inhabitants subdivided in the five villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare.
For centuries the inhabitants of Cinque Terre have made the steep slopes of the hills rising straight from the sea, cultivable strips of land supported by dry stone walls: the terraces are the true identity trait of Cinque Terre.
It is of essential importance that man continues to intervene on the landscape of the National Park by cultivating it and taking care of it and by rediscovering the ancient gestures of those who have made of the Cinque Terre a territory famous all over the world and as a World Heritage Site.
Portovenere
The town of Porto Venere, World Heritage Site for its architectural and natural resources, is located at the end of the western shore of the Gulf of La Spezia: the name of the village derives from a temple dedicated to goddess Venus Ericina, the place where now stands the Church of Saint Peter. The Regional Natural Park of Porto Venere maintains itself in the ancient village of the town, on the cliff and on the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. The sea cave Byron, the establishments and the sea shores along Via dell’Olivo, the ocean floor of Isola Palmaria are the strong points of Porto Venere as a seaside resort.
The Park of Porto Venere presents a network of trails with various levels of difficulty and it allows anyone traveling them, to pause and admire panoramic views: it is part of the most important trail networks such as Alta Via del Golfo (AVG), Sentiero Liguria (SL) and the Alta Via 5 Terre which connects Porto Venere to Levanto through the Cinque Terre.

Lerici
Lerici is located on the easternmost part of the Gulf of La Spezia, near the estuary of the river Magra. Of very ancient origin, it was under the Bishops of Luni. It was an important port where travelers and pilgrims arrived, who through Sarzana, connected to Via Francigena toward Rome or Northern Italy.
Lerici displays, still today, its original medieval structure, with the characteristic houses lined up along the narrow alleys. Inside the village are of interest the Jewish Ghetto, the castle at the feet of which is located the relaxing walk on the Vassallo waterfront.
In its territory, stands out the locality of Tellaro, a typical fishing village where, still today, boats meet on the small square on the sea and where a suggestive view of the Gulf can be enjoyed.
