Especially between Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare (it's better in that direction finishing at Moterosso al Mare with the views of the town and its beach. Just be prepared for about an hour or so walk over some demanding countryside with some steep hills and narrow ledges but it is so worth it for some incredible views!! A top highlight... More

Great views and it said 90 minutes but took us 3 hours!! Worth it though but some number of steps. I re-named Italy Istepily after this walk! More
