| Riomaggiore is the best point of departure to set off along the "Via dell'Amore". This typical seafarer's village, is characterized by its 14th-century church and the unique old houses, tall and narrow, which sprang up around it over the centuries. The first destination, Manarola, is just half an hour away. The final section of the path, carved into solid rock, is particularly fascinating, tracing the shoreline from on high. |

| Manarola comprises a cluster of old houses weathered over the years by the wind and waves, constructed on a sheer drop leaning out over the sea. Hardy hikers are challenged to scale the additional 1000 steps which lead the way to the Nostra Signora della Salute di Volastra sanctuary. |
