This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

Holiday arrangements, choice of hotels, walks and travel all excellent. Plenty of options given for a variety of ways to enjoy the walks and area. Please be careful to check for weather conditions when setting out, particularly if thinking of getting boats as some areas may stop boats running in inclement weatheR!
The Hotel Continental was an ideal location for our stay in Genoa. We were able to explore the city easily on foot. We especially enjoyed riding the funiculars and public lifts which helped us to get about the challenging terrain of the city. We recommend HB's food shop, just down from the hotel on Via Balbi, for delicious focaccia and their cafe nextdoor for a quick light bite and choices of gelato! The hotel is just across from the railway station from which we caught our train to Camogli. We enjoyed a peaceful stay in Camogli at the Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi, a contrast after the bustling city of Genoa. Walking on the Portofino Peninsula was lovely. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather in our days in Camogli. We can recommend the Panificio in San Rocco. Their focaccia is freshly prepared each day which we stowed away in our rucksacks, still warm, for our lunch each day. We enjoyed returning to our hotel in Camogli each day to relax over a pot of tea on the terrace and to absorb the stunning view of the Ligurian Riviera.
I've left this a little too long since we had to immediately delve back into fall planting and olive harvesting on our farm after taking October off! We just want to say that you are the best thing that ever happened to us and we're currently debating where we want to go next.

The walking routes selected were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the routes from Manarola to Corniglia and from Monterosso to Portovenere via Riomaggiore, which, whilst of differing lengths, both have spectacular views. The rocky path from Campiglia down to Portovenere was exhilirating. In early September, it is generally a stiff, hot climb from the Cinque Terre villages to the higher paths, but well worth it when you get to the top, as the villages and lower paths are overrun with tourists, particularly cruise parties as mentioned previously.
The Restaurant Belvedere in Monterosso on Piazza Garibaldi, recommended by the hotel, was good value and good quality. In Genoa we liked Vegia Zena (Vico del Serriglio, just behind the Porto Antico), La Forchette Curiosa (mentioned in City tour walking notes) and Trattoria Il Grillo Parlante ( Via San Bernardino, again just behind Porto Antico) The latter restaurant we passed at lunchtime, when it was packed with local workers on their lunch hour. We went back in the evening, when it was quieter, but just the type of place you want to find: off the tourist track, frequented by locals, a limited menu, dirt cheap (2 courses for Euro 15 including water) but importantly great quality, freshly cooked food.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our Genova & the Portofino Peninsula city break and walk, with our Cinque Terre walking break.
