Vernazza al tramonto è la cartolina più bella d'Italia.
Portovenere non è Cinque Terre ma va bene dai.
Monterosso è l'unica con una vera spiaggia.
Andate fuori stagione, ad agosto è impossibile.
Giro in battello consigliatissimo, le vedi dal mare che è un'altra cosa.
Corniglia con tutti quei gradini (la Lardarina) ti distrugge, ma ne vale la pena.
Il Sentiero Azzurro va controllato prima, alcuni tratti sono spesso chiusi per frane.
