travel europe italy liguria the cinque terre riomaggiore harbor

Few people would disagree that Riomaggiore's harbor is the focal point of the village.
Here you have the dynamics of nature and man meeting at water's edge in the form of both natural cliffs and man-made architectural canyons.
A man-made breakwater creates the small harbor that shelters both boats and swimmers.
