The tour starts from the Mirabello marina in La Spezia. From the sea, you will be able to see the Gulf of Poets, with its seaside villages, the ancient military fortress of Torre Scola, the village of Le Grazie, and the splendid village of Portovenere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the church of San Pietro, built directly on the rocks overlooking the sea, the castle of Portovenere, and the church of San Lorenzo next to it. Opposite, you can admire Palmaria Island, which protects the Portovenere roadstead from rough seas: here the sea is always calm, and this allows you to stop in absolute tranquility and security. You can swim or eat without any stress.
Once you have exited the Portovenere channel, you will see Byron's Cove (named after the famous poet). The tour will continue on the open sea towards Cinque Terre, but before entering the nature reserve, we will stop at Monesteroli, a beautiful bay where you can swim among countless small, harmless fish and also have lunch.
We will then arrive at the first village of Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore, perched above the sea, where you can see, photograph and admire the view. We will then continue to Manarola and then to Corniglia, the only village located on a small hill.
The boat has large areas in the sun and shaded areas so that each participant can choose where to stay.
If the weather and sea conditions and the Marine Park regulations allow, we will stop to swim in the beautiful Guvano Bay.
We will then also visit Vernazza and Monterosso.
The tour continues with drop-off at the Mirabello port of La Spezia.
