Manarola is perched on a steep promontory of dark rock. It's characterized by traditional Genovese-style “case-torri” (tower houses) facing the main street, which descends toward the marina enclosed by two rock spurs.
Furthermore, the village of Manarola is known worldwide for its illuminated Nativity Scene made from salvaged materials.
To reach this village by sea, with a boat excursion, it'll let you admire how the colorful houses blend with the landscape, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
