Rapallo and Zoagli, are the top names in fashionable, high class in holidays resort.Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore: these five towns make up the Cinque Terre area with nine kilometres of coast and 14 kilometres of mountain paths. The name “Cinque Terre” dates back to 1418 and appears for the first time in the writings of the Genoese chancellor Giacomo Bracelli. In all of the towns the houses appear to be piled one on top of the other - space is precious in the Cinque Terre and is not to be wasted, therefore town dwellings have grown vertically. For this same reason the land is cultivated using “terraces”, which are often held upright using dry stone walls as supports.
