Manarola, Italy

June 2017

wander alleyways; best for terrace trails

Vineyard walk - Follow wooden railing - lemon groves, wild red valerian, mostly flat, dry-stone walls and finely crafted vineyards - smell the rosemary

Punta Bonfiglio - This point offers some of the most commanding views of the entire region. The best vantage point - take stairs just below the cemetery through the green gate, then walk farther out toward the water through the park. Bench at the tip of the point.

Take the backstreet lanes up to the 13th century Fortress for spectacular views over the village and sea. For great coffee with a view, Bar Conchiglia has an upstairs terrace where you can watch the local battelli (boats) come in to dock and collect passenger moving on between villages.

Drink at sunset - Nessun Dorma located by waling around the path along the cliff edge then up the set of stairs at the bend of the path.
