MANAROLA, the harbour is formed by a terraced promenade where vineyards grow.
CORNIGLIOLA, in the ancient time the land was more extended southwards but, due to strong slumps caused by the sea, it has reduced to a long cliff connected with the village just by 365 steps, as same number as the days of the year.
VERNAZZA, this village is formed by ''carrugi'', narrow and steep stairways that take you to the centre of the city.
MONTEROSSO, because of the reddish colour of the hills at sunset, or perhaps due to the colour of the lord's hair (Rufus) that inhabited the castle, the name Monterosso can be translated as Red Mount and it offers a spectacular view from the Convent of the ''Cappuccini''.
