It is located in the Italian region of Liguria and is considered one of Italy’s jewels and is a very popular tourist destination. Each town is a variation on the same theme: a pastel jumble of homes crouching in a gully like crusty sea creatures in a tide pool, undisturbed by traffic or modern development, though the northern-most town, Monterosso, is completely different. It is very beachy-resorty, with not much to see beyond the boardwalk apart from modern apartment blocks and hotels, it is nothing like the narrow, crooked streets of the other towns, lined with colorful old houses stacked haphazardly on top of each other.
You can get in this place by plane, train or car. Although getting around the town by car is not that good of a method because there is little parking and what there is lies well outside the villages. To get from one village to the next involves driving all the way up to the high road and back down again. Frequent trains link all five villages with each other, but a way better but a more expensive option to get around are the boats that run up and down this part of the coast, it is however worth the money, since it is a very scenic adventure. Most of the people choose walking as a way to explore this place, especially on the main coastal paths which are subject to park entrance fees. It’s worth exploring some of the higher paths to Volastra (above Manarola), Monte Negro (above Riomaggiore) or paths that begin outside of the park such as the trail between Levanto and Monterosso. In order to walk along the trails between the villages, you must purchase a pass (5 euros), which is available at the information offices near the train stations at any of the five villages, as well as the stations at Levanto and La Spezia. You can pay a small supplement (an extra €3) for the pass and get unlimited travel between the villages, Levanto, and La Spezia on regional trains for the duration of the pass.
There are plenty things to do and this place boasts some of the best coastline hiking trails in the world. You can also see some specific things during defined parts of the year like the lighted Nativity in Manarola (Dec. 8th till late Jan.). The world’s biggest Lighted nativity; The patron festivity of the 5 towns (all between late May and Aug.), a mix of religious ceremony and popular parties; The pirates attack in Vernazza (mid summer), a celebration of the successful defense of the town from a Saracen attack occurred during the middle age; The harvest (early/mid Sept.) and wine making, when men’s shoulders and women’s heads are still used as they were hundreds of years ago; The sea storms (frequent in winter), a great show of nature’s power.

Before you head to the ocean, have a lesson in a pool – how to breathe etc. because it is important to keep your safety on the best possible level. As children most of us liked to dive, to compete in breath-holding, to hunt sea urchins or some fishes, so go back to your childhood happiness and have fun exploring the underwater nature.
SCUBA is an acronym for self contained underwater breathing apparatus. It is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. Depending on the purpose of the dive, a diver usually moves underwater by swim fins attached to the feet, but external propulsion can come from an underwater vehicle, or a sled pulled from the surface. Be careful, but not that much to ruin the excitement. Have in mind that if you choose to try scuba diving you will be spending your summer mostly in water because this is a disease which will infect you after your first expedition.
Standard equipment includes a diving mask or full face diving mask and snorkel, swimfins or scuba fins, dry suit, wetsuit or regular swimsuit (depending on the water temperature, buoyancy compensator or buoyancy control device (BCD), diving weighting system or weight belt, diving cylinder or scuba tank, diving regulator, contents gauge or submersible pressure gauge (SPG), dive computer or depth gauge and timer and surface marker buoy or other surface detection aid.
