The tour starts and ends in La Spezia port (Porto Mirabello).
The day cruise starts with a sailing through the "Gulf of Poets", passing by the charming village of Porto Venere, where you can admire the church of Saint Peter, which juts out from a spur of rock onto the gulf of Poets and the Cinque Terre coastline. You can have the opportunity to get off from the boat and make a short visit to this village.The cruise continues along the picturesque coast of the Cinque Terre National Park: you will admire its unique landscape, the small villages built right on the cliffs, the typical shapes of the terraced hillside supported by drystone walls. With the help of a tender boat, you will be able to reach the village of Vernazza, one of the most picturesque village of the Cinque Terre. Take your time to stroll through the narrow streets between colorful houses, to take some pictures and, if you wish to, you can have lunch at a local restaurant: you will savor a delicious meal with seafood specialties and fine local wine. After your visit, you will get back on board and continue the mini cruise further on. You might go for a swim or do some snorkeling in one of the quiet bays.
