The five villages are linked by trains, boats and a path along the cliffs. Walking it in two days gives you time to swim in each one.

## Getting there

Trains run along the coast from La Spezia every few minutes.

## Where to stay

Stay in Levanto, just outside the park, quieter and cheaper.

## What I would do differently

I would walk from south to north, with the sun behind me.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
