We just returned from Riomaggiore. We spent a week. It was great. Yes, it does get crowded in the daytime with tour groups, but there were few tourists at night.

I went to Europe for 3 weeks In Sept. with my 4 friends that had graduated the year before with me. Cinque Terre was so beautiful. It was such a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of European cities. Not only did the beautiful mountains descending into the bluest of water offer serenity, but…
