ITALY - THE CINQUE TERRE

This collection portrays a few images of the Cinque-Terre (5 lands) on Italys Ligurian coast. These are; Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare. I have included three nearby locations that are usually part of the visitors circuit. They are not as packed with tourists in the summer months and are equally as spectacular as the Cinque Terre. These are Tellaro, Lerici and Porto Venere. All photographs © Jon Davison 2018.
