Thanks to its location, Corniglia remains outside the mass tourism circuits, but this certainly doesn’t reduce its appeal, which actually is increased by this uniqueness.
Corniglia develops along its main road, via Fieschi, that joins the old town centre and the San Pietro parish to the belvedere of the Santa Maria terrace.
Beneath the church square you can admire the remains of some medieval sculptures and from the terrace you can enjoy a spectacular panorama: on one side the mountains and the Madonna delle Grazie Sanctuary, on the other the sea with the small bay of Marina di Corniglia and the Guvano Beach.
A panoramic footpath starts in Corniglia and goes all the way to Manarola passing through Volastra, “Il villaggio degli uliveti” (the olive tree village), along the way you can watch farmers attending their olive groves and vineyards.
