It’s a long trek and takes about a month to complete, so it is a place for accumulating some great memories. Beautiful resorts and small towns come on the way are an additional treat to eyes and are good resting points.

Cinque coastal walk is one of the best things to do in Italy. This beautiful trail can be covered in only 6 hours with small intervals if you walk through trail 2. Beautiful Italian villages on this coastal line look picture perfect and let travelers enjoy the authentic Italian pizzas. However, it’s important to take care of the weather, because peak season attracts a lot of tourists that lead to crowded paths. The beautiful landscapes that make this trek worth traveling are lush green gardens, exotic flora and fauna, and a beautiful lovers’ point etc.
