Vernazza

There are great trails between the towns here. The view is great and the vineyards on the cliffs are interesting too.

Yes it is touristy, but when I visited most were Italians with a sprinkling of Rick Steves backpackers. The frat boys stay in Monterosso.

Vernazza is the prettiest and quaintest of all the villages. You will love it there! Stay in the top floor room that Martina rents out right down by the harbor- it has a beautiful patio that overlooks the piazza and the water. It’s the pink building on the right in the piazza.
