2-Day Itinerary – Outdoor Activities
An itinerary designed for those who want to hike, without turning their trip into a race. Over two days, you can easily balance a scenic trek above Riomaggiore with time to discover Manarola, Volastra, and the terraced vineyards.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1 – Riomaggiore and Montenero
Start your day in Riomaggiore, heading up to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montenero via Trail 593 or the 593V variant. Don’t miss the panoramic viewpoint, which offers a breathtaking sweep of the village, the coastline, and the open sea. In the afternoon, head back down to enjoy Riomaggiore at a more relaxed pace.
Day 2 – Manarola, Volastra, and the Terraced Vineyards
Spend the second day exploring the agricultural landscape above Manarola. You can hike up to Volastra along Trail 506 or take the bus to the hamlet and walk along gentler stretches, such as Trail 586 toward Case Pianca. In the late afternoon, head back to Manarola to catch the sunset.
