See just below the tower and slightly to the left there's a patch of red ivy on the cliff, and a green awning above? That's the balcony of the place I stayed when I was there. Absolutely breathtaking.
Have you heard about Guvano's beach? Don't miss it, it's one of the most bizzarre things I saw on my trip.
From Corniglia, at the bottom of the crazy staircase, follow the road down and there are arrows poinint to "Guvano's beach." Eventually you come to a crazy painted gate at the beginning of an abandonned train tunnel. You buzz the intercom and, for the promis of 5 euros at the end of the tunnel, he'll open the gate for you. You walk down the dimly lit train tunnel, and at the other side is a beach. "Zees ees a natooraleest place," he'll warn you. Clothing optional.
My name links to pics. Enjoy the Cinque Terre! :)

That tower is the restaurant I mentioned...the BEST pesto lasagne I've ever had.

Definitely try to spend some time in Corniglia. There is a fantastic restaurant at the base of the village that was buried in my lets go guide, but that the locals love. The view of the sea was amazing and we were there on one of the saint's days and watched an entire procession march through town with candles lit and music playing while we ate dinner. When you get to the top of the trek up to the village head up the road to the right (not the one to the left that leads to the main part of town).
absolutely stunning and just what I needed on a 31 degree New England morning!
well said.
That is THE most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
This brings back memories of my own backpacking excursion in '03--please say you hiked the entire trail! :D
Of COURSE I did. It took me 3 hrs and 10 minutes.
gorgeous!
This is Vernazza. Lovely city; lovely, all of it.
Ooh, thank you JM. Now I can fix it on my flickr.
That is absolutely beautiful!
This picture blows me away and makes me want to be in Italy yesterday.
LOVE! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

That brought tears to my eyes.
No words needed, gorgeous!
What a fantastic view! I think Italy will be moving up higher on my list of places I have to see.
That is both beautiful and kind of terrifying, all at the same time. Amazing!
*Sigh* wow!
(Note to self: ADD THIS LOCATION TO LIST AND MOVE IT TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE!)
Enjoy Fish!!
Oof. My heart hurts just looking at it. I have pretty much that exact picture from when I went in May. Have an amazing time :)
what a truly fabulous life you are currently leading! :)
i got goosebumps.
And to think, those lucky Italians get to *live* there...
Awesome!! Is this for real?
What kind of camera are you using for this?? The picture quality is phenomenal.
stunning, absolutely stunning!
you chose just the right means of expression. this is stunning! and i am utterly envious of your daily sights.
Wow. Just wow.
Would you mind if I borrowed this pic sometime, with credit, when I talk about my future trip to Italy on my own blog?
Absolutely stunning. Who knew there was such beauty there? I'd heard of the vineyards, but never this. You have a gift; thanks for sharing.
What a picture!
That must have been a fantastic hike.
