About Italy Italy Cities Italy Hotels Italy Travel Guide

Forte dei Marmi is a lovely thoroughfare and has a varied landscape. There are many vacation packages Forte Dei Marmi Italy available which show the importance that tourists have for this lovely sightseeing and adventure tourist destination. One can stay in any Forte Dei Marmi hotel Italy and venture out on any adventure trip from there. One major trip that many like to walk is the legendary path of walking the Cinque Terre. This legendary path starts from near to the Spezia town on the northwest coast. The path is a connection route to the five villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. About one century back the Cinque Terre was known as ‘Via Dell’amore’ which translated means ‘love path’. This was at one time the only thoroughfare beside the sea. This wall is rated by all amongst one of the top 20 adventures in the country. Most vacation packages Forte Dei Marmi Italy offer this trek in their itinerary as this trek is all about taking one through varied landscapes. One will get to see pine and oak groves which stand near the sea and vineyards which grow on terraced fields. The pleasant and mild Mediterranean climate is a blessing for taking a pleasant walk at any time of the year.

One need not to go very far from Cinque Terre to enjoy some steep rocky flanks. Situated just 600 meters up from the sea very near to Cinque Terre is the promontory of Portofino. The rocky flanks are covered with chestnut trees on the north side and Mediterranean bush on the south. The town of Portofino is a fine harbor which has gained a lot of popularity among yachtsmen. Though most trails are easy there is particularly one stretch called the ‘acquedotto’ which runs along a steep drop off from San Fruttuoso to San Rocco without protection. The good thing is that the sea bottom around Portofino is an underwater park which is great for scuba divers.
