3-Day Romantic Itinerary
Three days give you the chance to experience Riomaggiore and Manarola without rushing through each stop. There’s time for the most famous views, but also for quieter moments, dinners in the villages, a wine tasting, a sunset by the sea, and a morning exploring the hamlets.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1 – Unwinding in Riomaggiore
Explore Riomaggiore at a relaxed pace. Stroll down Via Colombo, discover the charming harbor, visit the castle, and lose yourself in the narrow alleys. At sunset, head down to the rocky shore or find a scenic viewpoint overlooking the village. End your day with dinner in town and a peaceful evening stroll, when the village takes on a quieter, more intimate charm.
Day 2 – Manarola and the iconic sunset
Spend the day exploring Manarola’s highlights: the picturesque marina, the vibrant town center, and the historic Church of San Lorenzo. If open and reserved in advance, include a walk along the famous Via dell’Amore. At sunset, choose your favorite experience: head to Punta Bonfiglio for stunning coastal views, or book a romantic boat tour.
Day 3 – Volastra: the peaceful hills
Head to Volastra for a quieter morning among olive groves, vineyards, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Health. In the afternoon, take part in a wine tasting or return to the villages for one last stroll. Enjoy a final dinner overlooking the sea or in the narrow streets.
Good to know
- Book sunset experiences, the Via dell’Amore, and restaurants in advance.
- Volastra is the perfect way to add a calmer, more rural, and scenic dimension to your stay.
