Portovenere, Cinque Terre by Boat

Our private chartered boat will pick you up from the Portovenere pier and take you along the scenic terraces of Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Vernazza. Along the way you will see the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola, connected by the world famous Love Path, followed by Corniglia, high on a cliff. Vernazza is a tiny resort located at the mouth of a river and is naturally protected from the threat of the sea by a rocky promontory and has always been the only safe landing point in the Cinque Terre. You will have free time in Vernazza to see the noble and elegant village before reboarding your boat to cruise to Monterosso, a town distinctly divided into two parts - the old town and the new town, which are divided by a single tunnel. You will have free time to explore this village with the only extensive sand beach in the Cinque Terre. You will return to Portovenere by your chartered boat.

Please note: This trip is exclusive and a private guide is included. This tour is highly subject to sea conditions. Sometimes it can happen that you can only debark in Monterosso and not in Vernazza. When the boats do not run at all due to weather

Bonifacio, Bonifacio Highlights & Tasting

Discover the timeless charm of Bonifacio on a captivating journey through a town rich in history, striking architecture, and breathtaking landscapes, beginning with a charming mini-train ride through the Bosco quarter, home to the historic St. Francis Convent and the mariners’ cemetery, where impressive mausoleums display a variety of architectural styles and, on clear days, offer views of Sardinia across the sea. The tour continues with a visit to St. Dominique Church, an outstanding example of Corsican Gothic architecture believed to have been built by the Templars in 1270, followed by a walking exploration of the town’s narrow, winding alleys lined with towering granite houses and a pass by the 14th-century St. Marie Majeure Church, a remarkable blend of Romanesque and Baroque styles. As you delve deeper into Bonifacio’s historic district, you will discover Place des Armes and the Jardins des Vestiges, revealing the town’s medieval past, stroll along Two Emperors Street where Napoleon Bonaparte and Charles V once stayed, and admire the Old Market dramatically set atop 230-foot limestone cliffs with spectacular coastal views. The route then leads through the Porte de Gênes, once the citadel’s only entrance, to the Chapel of St. Roch, built on the site where Bonifacio’s last plague victim died in 1528, and onward to St. Erasme Church, dedicated to mariners and fishermen, where the famous Hundred Steps descend to the picturesque marina. To complete the experience, enjoy a Corsican tasting at Galerie des Ducs, savoring local specialties and wines while admiring panoramic views of the Bonifacio cliffs, before choosing to continue exploring independently or return to the ship with your group, taking with you lasting memories of Bonifacio’s unique charm and history.
