Before going to Florence for a few weeks we decided to spend a weekend in the Cinque Terre!
As it was Ferragosto the choice of accommodation was limited... however the Agriturismo Aria Design in Levanto was great! Just a short walk from the train station and a very manageable walk to all restaurants in the town! It also had a pool, very welcome in 30 degree weather!
Dinner the first night was at the Antico Borgo restaurant which was good....... however on the way down we discovered the great local Bar Levanto for aperativos..... and then grappa on the return! It was frequented every evening!!
On the first morning we walked down to the port to take one of the few morning ferries.... 
First stop for the ferry.... Vernazza...
Then passed Corniglia.... which is without a port!
Then Riomaggiore...
where we needed to change boats for a trip around the islands...
...having lunch on the front was very inviting.....before a visit to the old town......
Afterwards a short ferry ride to the first village going north... Rio Maggiore
After wandering around we took the train back to Levanto........
Dinner was at the Gattabriga restaurant. Food was excellent.... highly recommend.
The local wine was also great!
The town was definitely not quiet after dinner..... music in the air!
The following day was a visit to Vernazza....one of the more touristy destinations in the area......
Lunch was at the Belforte restaurant...... with a superb view of the port, which was always busy!
Ferries going in and out.......
Then back to our Agriturismo for a swim! Pizza was a welcome change for the evening!
