The Cinque Terre
This area on the Ligurian Coast of Italy is made up of five small villages, each a few miles apart from one another, not easily accessible by car. One can hike from Monterosso to Vernazza through vineyards and olive groves, passing donkeys and men working the terraces. Or one can hike from Riomaggiore to Manarola on a trail that follows the sheer rocky coastline, affording spectacular views of the water. One can also climb straight up to the medieval town of Corniglia, a climb that requires good physical conditioning and willpower.
