The engine hums and the Mediterranean lifts you forward as Levanto's La Pietra pier recedes. Sea-spray cools your cheeks, and the captain gestures toward a string of cliff-hung villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore—each one stepping out of the coastline like a painted card. The boat slips close enough for photo frames of pastel houses and tiny harbors, then finds a quiet cove where the water dares you to dive.
