October 21, 2025,Cinque Terre • 3: Um die Insel Palmaria 🤩🐐

The journey by 🚌 to Porto Venere from La Spezia Centrale train station was quite interesting, as it led for miles past military forts of the Italian Navy on the Gulf of La Spezia. We also saw the large warships moored there.

From Porto Venere, we took a small ferry to the island of Palmaria.

Really nice trip. You need to have good shoes and plenty of water. Lots of climbs, not particularly difficult.... I recommend you take this route in spring and autumn.

Today excursion in Liguria, Palmaria island with the cai. Simple suitable for everyone. Except for a couple of spots where it was almost necessary to sit down

I don't understand komoot...I walked for at least 2 hours at a calm pace, I certainly didn't run

Both Portovenere and Palmaria island are gems... But, in terms of cleaning maintenance, they make themselves desired... Another consideration, when you're in those places, you think you're eating fresh fish, instead... it's not like that.. I am referring to the inn located on the Palmaria island...

We left counterclockwise at 11. At the top we stayed an hour visiting the garden and enjoying the island at 360 degrees. We arrived in Terrizzo at 3.30 pm with a stop for lunch in Pozzale. The time taken is longer ... I don't know how the app calculates it.

The Giro Isola was definitely worth the effort - the climbs were tough, the sun is beating down from above, the surroundings offer a great view after every second turn. The boat trip was worth it for that :)
