The Gulf of Poets : the best you can see for your holiday.

1. You snooze you loose.
Yes, the fishermen of the 5 Terre wake up pretty early in the morning. You can see them coming back on their boats, the bright sun just behind, in the dim colors of the coast that is awakening to the wind. All very impressive, but you will enjoy this picture if you will wake up soon too!

2. the best things come in small packages.
It means that you can not refuse to taste the typical products of small local producers. Trust: oil, wine, bread and focaccia homemade, they have an incomparable natural taste!

3. Happy tourist who has seen it all before the tourists.
Be careful: choose the best time of the day to discover must-see sights - which usually is away the rush hours. Look for hidden niches, which often reveal the particular charm of silence, the empty landscape, and full of color and peace. Enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. Do not be fooled by the crowd Ask people who live here - we all have our secret place!

4. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I know, clear and sparkling water off attracts those who are on the rocks. But turn away from the shore and its clear, calm waters with caution: in some beaches the seabed suddenly collapses.
5. The early bird catches the worm.
Have you ever seen a sunrise over the sea? The golden rays that you shed on the shiny skin of the waves, and rolling to shore bringing the light of the horizon ... And the sky is dappled, changeable as the moon mentioned in the Juliet by Shakespeare. Be just as romantic, or enjoy its charm alone: you will still dumb.
6. Crammed like sardines.
Unfortunately the other tourists will try to make you experience this condition on the trains, but not desist: you will be rewarded! Rather, try these anchovies - fried, au gratin, marinated, Piattella al Forno, scapece, tomato, stuffed, salted ... Be curious and insatiable!
7. As long as the boat goes ...
You will surely find some itinerary that takes you through stunning images, from the sea. Let yourself be lulled by the rolling of the boat and enjoy the fresh wind and the sun's heat. Only two ingredients for the perfect recipe: suncream sunglasses and camera!

8. Living in the shadow of the bell tower.
You will love the Ligurian churches, perched above the sea, kissed by the sun. The Ligurian marbles are famous and some ancient holy sites retain their ancestral energy, clean sheets ... Perfect places to meditate.
9. Do not make the grass grow under his feet.
But how not to get groped by the lush hinterland? Lose yourself in the paths and vegetable entanglements, discover the rock walls, cliffs overlooking the sea, the steep paths through the vineyards and narrow, vertiginous stairways. You immerse yourself in the colors and intense scents of the Mediterranean, that will remain indelibly in the eyes and on the skin ...
10. Get lost in a glass of water ... But better if it's sciacchetrà.
How to take leave from 5 Terre without having tasted a glass?
Stop off to the sources, but also increased from some farmer. Ask the sweet amber liquid, intense, with a pleasant scent of honey, wet your lips and ... I will leave more!
