* Hotel reservation: If you make your booking in advance you'll be more comfortable. I usually use the booking.co site but of course, the information such as the travel hotel & venue of the sites that I check my tripadvisor.co comments. also if you do so free when making your reservation do not need to make a payment in case of cancellation or change.

* Luggage soo important !! You can use the backpack or suitcase according to the geographical situation of the place to go.
Since backpack always our choice. Because we take our side and for ease of handling and landing & boarding in the cabin baggage can not be waiting trouble. This year my sevdiceğimi a backpack in the back of our cabin size for the inconvenience, we replace it with 4 wheel suitcase, the room in the same way because of the size of the cabin is comfortable to carry and can be an alternative to a backpack.

* Online check-in !! yes definitely do not hang around online pre-flight check-in i Make your friends, you can get rid of unnecessary formalities in both time and also you want to sit in the seat so clear you can not be sure you have booked.
You can show your boarding pass immediately barkotu direct herpes boarding your phone, do not need to suppress your ticket also.

* Make preliminary survey of the places you can go if you get a few runs during the flight appeared to plan a trip, you can create in your mind.

I collect some information about the Cinque Terre I did my research before me are traveling. After this type of research that if you encounter a happy place with the knowledge or familiarity, giving the image a human.

Cinque Terre Turkish money "5 village" in Italian Genova Liguria either linked historic 11th-century name given to the region consisting of 5 villages.

Villages came from Genoa, respectively;

Monterosso Al Mare
Vernazza
Corniglia
Manarola
Riomaggiore

Here you will find is not detailed information about Villages in the following line.

Istanbul - Genova flight takes about 2.5 hours, except if there is one situation in Istanbul flights wait :)
For those who Christioph Izmir Colombo airport reminded me of the old airport can even say even more minnoş. beauty is completely built on the sea. if the sea is doing is giving people the feeling of landing.


After landing in order to Geider the city center "volabus" we need to get into is the Havas bus money. Airport information desk or bus drivers from ten per person will be enough to get 6euro or ticket.


Genova - we will do our Cinque Terre by train transport. Our Terini depart from Piazza Principe station and take about two hours. Our first and larger than the others, "Monterosso Al Mare" in the village. Train Genova have time to make a short tour before boarding the bus from the city center so the "Piazza Ferrari" We're going Ferrari square. In one of the resulting wide streets are starting to walk.

In Italy this past trip we met our store cosmetics brand I buy from Venice. Where I came out of the bag now, since I also do not get eyeshadow bit so this encounter was super :))

After my first purchase happy happy we decided to come down to the beach. Tiny squares of the narrow streets we arrive at the port of genoa from the museum. In coincidence with a shop in Istanbul we face the sizeable "Eataly" I'm happy to have seen it turns out though, why the kebab :)) I officially adopted Eataly :)) together with snacks we received our first cappuchino we're drinking. So how to enjoy a taste of another is private, where coffee is delicious meat in pistachio be another special where you drink. Whenever he has the opportunity to say :)

We're going to the beach walk from the train station to drink our coffee. Usually contains the port structure is a port city in Genova coastline. Apart from this, museums, cafes, ice rink was done with the shopping center attached to our eyes. Piazza Principe our tickets at the train station "Ticket office" we are from, or 6.80 euro per person. Lucky for us the next train is coming in 10 minutes and we are going to move towards the Cinque Terre.

Can be reached by train anywhere in Europe has always been really envy me. Regional trains are very comfortable and the price was very reasonable. What would have been nice to have this supply ülkemizdede those of us again ... again ... so we spend

Go a few stops on the train that we could not see the last time we grow a little rush tickets to "validate" came to our mind that we have to bide his haste we had unnecessarily :))
Before boarding the first train platform "Departure" the names of the stops of the board can be easy to check if you take a photo.

To be precise, I think we're about 20 stops bilemessin took me approximately 2 hours. The journey goes quite nicely with pleasant views. Afternoon observing through shrinking became a village in the interior of the residential buildings in the city come from the sea about 3 "Monterosso Al Mare" had we arrive.

Station welcomes you to the beach a mixture of iodine smell of the sea and mountain air.
Founded on the slopes of the mountain "Monterosso Al Mare" We can say the old and new residential dedicates station parts. A wide beach is available. Hotels we stayed in the old settlement which is more touristy. And we will pursue the sketch we have our "Da Vice Rooms" a we arrive (I admit the way we had to ask an uncle). Fabio greets us very friendly moved here from milano 5 years ago and now lives in the village, very happy. I envy I'm jealous ... yourself says feel at home, village and gives information about the environment (a map mark the place to be seen in the village on giving) for the winter season in most of your trip off thus we do with among us have not we have much alternative to eat anymore :(


I stopped saying a boutique hotel but this is actually a board consisting of a 3-storey building in 2 of the 3 rooms on the ground floor and a shared terrace. Very tastefully decorated rooms have everything you might need immaculate available. the look of the room hold a small snack bar snacks were served tea and coffee for catering to guests. For breakfast there was an agreement to use our center with a cafe in Fabio has requested.

We left our stuff comes right through the village to the discovery. We want to eat something as a turlayıp from the village. 5-6 hours in the afternoon. I recommend that you have not told why, because this hour clock hungry because food service begins 7 if you have to wait for the evening open space opens again closed after lunch most of your trip. That season, but this morning I do not know how the evening siestacılık inverted us within this situation does not understand :) :)

Next to the hotel "Fast Bar called" quick snack in a cafe bar (Bruchetta, Caprese salad, Mozzarella Sandwich) are feeding us with the stomach. Meanwhile already well off the air breaks and begins to rain severely, for today we're moving our room to understand that we can not do another action.
Day 2
Early this morning we planned to go to church on top of the first business village. Fabio mention that we will visit the cemetery next to the church afterwards. It was interesting to wander a bit :) Fabio cemetery by the fact that at the time of Napoleon has decided to move to the cemetery in the village below the hill and they carry all the dead one by one peak. The church consists of a path to the road leading to the village where you can see with beautiful views.

I met for the first time in my life a structure cemetery. I'm very impressed the first time we meet with such an architecture. As if the museum was immaculate and tidy. Whether we pray God have mercy're saying we're going into the village from the rear lane sep.

Area terraces in the hills surrounded by high mountains, vineyards and olive cultivation is widespread. at first sight reminiscent of the tea garden in your black. In the lower garden of lemon and orange trees are available in almost every home.

Vibrant orange and yellows reds from each other renkelri houses a splash of color. Others see the sea, providing people living in comfortable homes with overall fishing the way I read the information so that they paint those vivid colors.

Off the air but does not look like it will rain, the second village "Vernazza" or we decide to go. Our journey will take 4 minutes by train. If you like you can also walk to the village spring, but I think it would be more appropriate. We chose the train.

"Vernazza" village where we stayed was founded more than a small village on a hillside. There is a small beach. In the coastal road from the station and board the narrow streets intersecting green shuttered houses this way citrus colors. The village through the pedestrian path to Monterosso're taking pictures of the beautiful views are available.

Really a nice village sourced warmer air from being smaller than the village where we stayed. We are under stress, or they close on time for lunch so :)) so it's already clear that two of the most populous current restaurant "Antica Osteria Il Baretto" or we throw ourselves.

Seafood and pasta with white wine next to my lunch we plant one ice cream dessert which is fine as we are satisfied with our eyes open :)) we drink our coffee bar on the beach, and we hit the road for the slow rotation. We have seen in the village closed at one store open now what I'm saying durucak paper draws our attention to the showcase :)))

Not because of the birthday dinner with Fabio's recommended by the place "Moretto" We decided to also do. Restaurants in Monterosso square white table covered with a cute Italian restaurant. Menu quite crowded, we can not decide what we eat. Octopus salad with pesto sauce in a frontal sonrasında we say, and mixed seafood pasta dish. All delicious, especially octopus salad from each other. We love to enjoy our dinner eats we conclude our evening drinking coffee in the top. Meanwhile, we also like to thank Fabio is also a super surprise drafted him in our room, super Fabio :))

Day 3

Today our plan remaining 3 villages "Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore," Walk. Without the sunny spring weather was superb. Breakfast at the center of our "Bar centrale" We are doing it. Breakfast Croissant and coffee If I say there is nothing else in it too! Anyway, thank goodness, of course, I say enjoy croissants do not complain because you can not eat it too with a fabulous turkey can say.

After breakfast, the train last village "Riomaggiore" ye are passing. Takes about 20 minutes from Monterosso. To reach the center of the village stepping off the train you need to go through a tunnel, the tunnel walls are adorned with a cute ceramic.

See more established in this village still has a smaller coastal mountain slopes, but according to what we can form a narrow passage in the more inclined the boat is not like the beach. Houses still green shutters in citrus colors.

Other villages in this village "Manarola" or to the way "Lovers way" not very nice views to the name given photographing go on foot to Manarola on account of were in demand, but they blocked the road, unfortunately :)) have blocked the road with due resulted experienced a landslide and unfortunately death. Maybe my skin can be opened in the summer you try your luck if you go anyway.

I created three alternatives for the rest of the day
*Santa Marghaerit to go to the train station and from there bus pass Portofino (but can be accessed in this way)
*The other two villages of Manarola and Corniglia return to our village after visiting yi
*Return to Monterosso and enjoy the beautiful weather at the beach cafe crashes
My love chooses 3.  alternative. We enjoy the last 2 days off the beach cafe chair of the unit is turned on and has sat down at the side of the road just say we have our coffee as the sun miss the sound of the waves and the smell of iodine for several hours.

For dinner, Fabio again recommended by the "Barabba" We went to the restaurant is called. He said that we can come eat nice pizza in a wood oven. Yidikk us our pizza obey the instructions :)

We make our last walk on the beach back to our hotel at 7:36 the next day we terini.
We leave early in the morning until 13:20 to catch our plane from Monterosso, one day like a new born spectacular views of the sea bed sheets ...
It was a nice weekend getaway for us, every year my lover will have a special place in our travels that made my birthday a ritual "Cinque Terre".
