Please notice: Due to the increasingly high tourist volume within the Cinque Terre, a local Administration Decree has prohibited private vehicles to drive through the villages. Your driver will accompany you to the first town town and point you out where you can get the tickets for the ferry or train (not included in the rate), and wait for you in the last town at the end of the day. You will have time to visit the Cinque Terre. These five natural fishing villages, suspended between sea and land, will surely fascinate you with their incredible panoramas composed of steep terraces, gardens, vineyards and olive groves, hanging from sheer cliffs thank to an ingenous system of "muretti" (low stone walls) shaped and layered over the course of nearly two millennia. You will explore Pisa, where the the world-famous Leaning Tower is located. Of course, a stop in Piazza dei Miracoli for memorable pictures is a must, but do not forget that this university city is also full of history and culture, thanks to its glorious past as a Maritime Republic.
