This is the smallest of the 5 towns, and the only one with no access to the sea.
I could spend a few days in each town just exploring every nook and cranny!
Corniglia, a charming village perched atop a cliff in the Cinque Terre region of Italy, offers a unique and tranquil escape. Unlike its coastal neighbors, Corniglia is not directly accessible by the sea but can be reached by climbing a series of steps or taking a shuttle bus. This seclusion adds to its quaint allure, as it remains the quietest and least crowded of the Cinque Terre villages. The village’s narrow streets, lined with colorful buildings, lead to breathtaking viewpoints that showcase the beauty of the Ligurian coastline. With its relaxed atmosphere, Corniglia is an ideal place to savor authentic Italian cuisine in local trattorias, sample regional wines, and immerse oneself in the traditional way of life.
