Cinque Terre, Paradise Found

---

We're now at the sun-drenched beaches of Italy's hidden Cinque Terre: five perfectly preserved fishing villages, surrounded by vineyards and the sea. We'll make Vernazza our home base.

Cinque Terre — Ahh, time for a 'vacation from our vacation.' You couldn't see a museum here even if you wanted to! This is simply traditional Italy, with nothing to do but hike through the vineyards that connect the five villages, hang out on the beaches, swim, and lounge around the town with the locals.
