Morning light hits the Ligurian sea and the driver eases away from Livorno’s port, the harbor shrinking behind glass as the coast grows raw and vertical. The tour unfolds as a sequence of small towns: Portovenere’s striped church, Vernazza’s busy marina, Corniglia’s high terrace — each chosen because the walking is intentionally gentler, the streets flatter and more manageable for travelers with limited stamina.
