The Cinque Terre are one of the most uncontaminated areas in the Mediterranean Sea. A unique characteristic of the area are the terraced wineyards sustained by dry walling, a perfect example of landscape architecture created by man in inaccessible surroundings. The rare and disappearing species of flora and fauna are protected throughout the Cinque terre as far as Porto Venere in a park that is both nature and marine. Day 1 Arrival in La Spezia.
