Wow, I love how adventurous you two are...thanks for another great tour. I must admit I was squirming as you drove up the road to your home....looking forward to seeing the next video...cheers!
Hahaha. Yes - we seem to attract death defying driveways and parking spots. That car has been through a lot of tight spaces - and so far barely a scratch on it. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Thanks for watching.
Looks marvelous out there, I can see why it is your favorite. I think I would park at the bottom of the hill, but the views at your AirB&B make it worth the hike.
Great videos. Planning our first trip to Italy in June-2023 and looking for Cinque Terre alternatives. Would you recommend Lerici for 4nights stay? Interested in hiking and some beach time and obviously great food and wine. CT is looking too touristy for our taste. We are driving from Rome to Tuscany first, staying in Tuscany for a few days before heading to the Liguria area. Then back to Rome. Would love a suggestion from someone like you who has spent so much time in that area. Thank you!
Wow, that's going to be fun! Lerici is lovely for their sandy beach, walks along the promenade, and small, cute town center. You can find hiking nearby, too, though we mostly hoofed back and forth from our apartment above town and don't have experience with the trail system. The Portofino National park near Camogli and Santa Margherita Ligure is nice for hiking and also close to beaches (mostly rocky ones, except Paraggi). All along the Italian coasts, beach access is mostly through the beach clubs from June-Sept. 15. In summer, many beach towns also forbid car access in ZTL zones, unless you have permission from your accommodations. Have a fabulous trip!
Hello, this video is great. What/where is the first cove/beach that is in the video? Will be staying in Lerici for a few nights in May and looks like a great quiet spot ! Thanks
Thank you for watching and enjoy your trip! The beach club of Eco del Mare opens the video. The coastline between Lerici and Tellaro also has several other pretty coves, too, with public access via stairways from the main road.
Ciao, thanks so much for this wonderful video. I will be staying in Lucca in May and will now be adding a day trip to Lerici after having watched your video. Do you think that the month of May will be equally calm in terms of visitors ?Grazie!
How fun! I hear Europe this summer will be more crowded than usual with all the rescheduled trips cancelled the last couple of years. That said, shoulder season like May is usually a good time to go vs. July and August! Lerici has very limited parking, check the situation if you're driving. Enjoy your trip to Italy!!!!
What's important to you and what time of year? Lerici is the most central, with more variety in restaurants. Summer is always busy everywhere. When the ferry runs in the summer Tellaro has an especially big day-trip crowd, compared to its size. Tellaro is closest to pretty coves and smaller bays. Lerici and San Terenzo have a big long sand beach and the promenade for long strolls and great people watching.
Thank you for watching! Have a great trip! If you're staying overnight in Lerici, your hotel or host should provide you with a reserved parking spot and permission to drive your car into the ZTL (limited traffic zone.) Otherwise, you need to get there early in the morning before the ZTL turns on and the limited parking at the beach fills. There is a public parking lot just outside the ZTL Zone, but it fills up fast in the summer, too. A short passenger ferry runs between Lerici and Tellaro. Unfortunately, Lerici doesn't have a train station.
@@happygoluckytravel thank YOU for posting the video and the quick reply! if im staying in tellaro, can i park somewhere outside of town and leave my car there while we explore tellaro? or is it really hard to find parking in public lots like that? i dont have a hotel, only an airbnb with no parking unfortunately.
Hi, Even though parking isn't included in your rental, your host will want to help you have a smooth arrival and will know the closest, safe public parking lot. I would ask them for advice about which of the many public lots to use and by when in the day you need to get there. Some have shuttle buses. If your host won't help, search Lerici and parking for the city website with parking and ZTL information. July and August are pretty crazy in all the beach towns in Italy. Once you get the parking part down, this is a beautiful part of the world and we hope you enjoy your stay!
Takes me back to those summer evenings on the little square in Tellaro, 30+ years ago ❤
Thank you for watching, that sounds dreamy!
My favorite part of Italy!!!!
Veri goodie

@@happygoluckytravel Us too lol We were just wondering what camera you guys use for vlogging as it seems very clear? Did you use 4k? thanks

Trying to decide between staying in Tellaro, Lerici and San Terenzo! do you have any recommendations on how to pick?

Thank you for watching! I added the website for the tiny house to the description section of this video. We hope you have a fun trip!
i am debating on renting a car. is it difficult to park in July months? is it hard to drive in this area?
