Corniglia is a beautiful town too. It is slightly different from the others as it is perched higher up and has no direct harbor access. Therefore the ferry does not go there. Only way in is by train. And the train station is at sea level and the town is up, up, up. But everything in the Cinque is either up or down!

If you are hiking make sure to stop at La Torre. It is in Vernazza, but technically on the trail from Corniglia to Vernazza. We happened upon it needing lunch after a hike and went back a second time.

Franco, the owner, is a specimen of eating and drinking real food his whole life!

If you come from Vernazza to get there, keep in mind it is probably 200 steps up from the town, so leave the high heels at home for this place. But views, food and service were excellent!

Have a great trip!
