Monterosso: the sunniest and liveliest village in the Cinque Terre
Monterosso al Mare is the largest village in the Cinque Terre. Its colorful houses, long golden beach, and vineyard-covered hills create a vibrant and luminous landscape. During Rosa dei Venti 5 Terre Boat Tours excursions, Monterosso is always one of the first exciting sights after departing Levanto, a true picture unfolding on the water.
The village has two souls: the historic center, with churches, alleyways, and ancient towers, and the more modern part, bustling with shops, restaurants, and bars that still maintain strong ties to its maritime tradition. Monterosso is ideal for those who love combining relaxation, culture, and fine Ligurian cuisine.

“The sky and the sea are like two mirrors that reflect each other during the day and listen to each other at night.”
Monterosso from the sea: a village that reveals all its beauty.
The true thrill of Monterosso comes when you see it from the sea. Sailing from Levanto with Rosa dei Venti 5 Terre Boat Tours, the village appears like a sea of colors reflected in the water: the yellow of the houses, the green of the vineyards, the intense blue of the bay. From the boat, you can take in the village's structure at a glance, discovering details invisible from land: small coves, wind-sculpted rock faces, panoramic viewpoints emerging from the vegetation, and ancient passages used by fishermen.
Coastal navigation allows you to appreciate Monterosso in its most authentic aspect: its maritime setting. The profile of the famous Giant, carved into the rock, becomes even more imposing when viewed from the water, while the long golden beach appears like a natural arch leading to the village. Monterosso, seen from the sea, is a perfect balance between nature and architecture, history and light, the strength of the cliffs and the gentle landscape.
Hidden bays, snorkeling and stops in the crystal clear waters
The sea excursion allows you to reach places that remain hidden from land. Between Monterosso and Levanto, there are small bays nestled between cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, perfect for swimming breaks surrounded by calm, clear waters. With Rosa dei Venti 5 Terre Boat Tours, you can discover these quiet corners, far from the busier areas, ideal for those who want to swim or snorkel in complete tranquility.
The seabed in this area is rich with life and color: fish, plays of light, submerged reefs, and seagrass meadows make every dive a captivating experience. Stopping in these waters means experiencing Monterosso in its most natural essence, breathing in the scent of the sea and admiring the coast from privileged vantage points. It's a moment that will remain in the hearts of those who love the sea in its purest, most intimate, and authentic form.
