Publisher's Synopsis
Italy has long been a destination at the top of many a traveller's "must see" list. Rome, Florence, and Venice have their own merits-famous for their culture, history, art, and of course food. But there is a hidden gem tucked away along the Italian Riviera, away from the chaotic tourist scene, where the pace slows and the wine flows. Known as "The Five Lands," Cinque Terre is an attractive location for visitors who crave a taste of the real Italy.
