]]>The second-smallest village in Italy’s Cinque Terre region, Manarola is a coastal hidden gem recognizable by its steep cliffs and colorful buildings. Houses painted in vibrant shades of orange, pink, and yellow create a mesmerizing contrast against the Ligurian Sea below, while in town, narrow alleyways dotted with local shops and eateries provide a charming backdrop for photographers and romantics looking to explore.
Despite its reputation as the “dying town,” Civita di Bagnoregio continues to offer visitors a sense of timeless beauty through its medieval architecture and unique geographical position. The town, located atop a tuff in the Calanchi Valley, is only accessible via pedestrian bridge and boasts a permanent population of just 11 people. Non-residents are required to pay a small entrance fee, with funds going toward maintenance and restoration projects.
Ancient caves and stone-carved architecture have earned the southern Italian town of Matera a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Sassi di Matera, a complex of cave dwellings carved into the mountain, creates a labyrinth of winding streets and has been described as one of the most unique landscapes in Europe.
