Manarola – Volastra – Corniglia

(Alternate path to the blue trail)

Suggestions:

If you want to save time, you can take the village bus from Manarola to Volastra (10 minutes and free with the Cinque Terre card). Be sure to check the bus timetable beforehand as the buses don’t run often.
On the weekends, there is a bus from Riomaggiore directly to Volastra (one in the morning), but again, be sure to check the schedule.
As always, wear good shoes, bring sunscreen and a hat. Start early.
