Castello di Riomaggiore

Carved into the stone lies this little village. If you're staying in La Spezia, I suggest you take the train, because it's a lot cheaper and faster than boat tours, more frequent and less crowded. Driving is of course out of the question. There are cliffs on the right side of the bay, where you can dive. Otherwise, you can take a swim on the left side. The village has basically the main street with shops, bars and restaurants. In the summer season expect lots of tourists.

This is a charming old quaint village. We arrived by scheduled boat from Portovenere. Great place to explore the shops and restaurants. Plenty of photo opportunities ~ just like the postcards.

Interesting and beautiful to visit.

The view is amazing but they put a metal fence before the wall that over looks the sea and the coloured houses. So that people can't set on that wall.... that prevented taking photos with that great view

Quaint. Cool streets... and lots of ice cream. Sooooo much ice cream
