    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The 1km long route winds around a string of five villages that make up the Cinque Terre UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    The footpath was carved out of the hard rock face overhanging the sea and legend is it became a meeting place for lovers from the two towns.

    Liguria’s Cinque Terre is made up of five villages famous for their jewel-toned buildings set into the cliffs above the sea.

    The string of seaside villages has been battling against mass tourism this year introducing fines of up to €275 for visitors that block traffic or pedestrians by lingering for selfies.

    The Blue Path starts from Riomaggiore making its way to Monterosso al Mare through Manarola, Corniglia and Vernazza.

    The route is around 12 kilometres long and reaches a maximum altitude of roughly 200 metres in the tiny village of Vernazza.
