Riomaggiore, like the other Cinque Terre, is squeezed between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range that detaches itself from the Apennines at Mount Zatta and descends in a south-eastern direction, acting as a watershed between the Val di Vara and the coastal area. The historic center, whose original nucleus dates back to the 13th century, is located in the valley of the Rio Maggiore stream, the ancient Rivus Major from which the village takes its name

A trip with Titi - Si! Si!

What an absolutely AMAZING trip. The views, people, sights, and sounds were incredible. BUT there’s a “secret ingredient” that made this day truly the very BEST DAY. Our guide Titi! She was the highlight of the day. Her knowledge, spirit, and smiles made the trip even more special.
