The Italian Riviera - NEW for 2010!
Cinque Terre, Italy
The Cinque Terre, with its pastel-colored fishing villages and terraced hillsides covered with vineyards and olive trees, constitutes one of Italy’s most impressive landscapes. What is unique about this area is that it was crafted by humans: carrying rock after rock up the hillsides on their shoulders and using these rocks to build low walls, they meticulously changed the steep mountainsides into cultivable terraces. Before the advent of the railway in the middle of the 20th century, the ancient systems of hillside footpaths were the towns' only link to the outside world. These winding ways still form one of the most amazing coastal routes in Europe. The Cinque Terre are five (cinque) towns along the Liguria coast, south of Levanto. If there were Sei (six), it would be Levanto.

“Many of those in the group had been on prior trips (for some this was their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th) and that fact speaks volumes to the calibre of your trips. Thank you. I anticipate being a “new” regular Scott Walker.”
