Things to do
6-
Chiesa di San Lorenzo
Your walk to the top of the village ends on this square, where the marble rose window on the church front is the detail to look up for.
-
Groppo
If Volastra is further than your legs want to go, getting off the bus here halves the height and still puts the vineyards all around you.
-
Manarola Nativity Scene
After dark, take a torch up the Via Beccara to the viewing points and the lit hillside is laid out above the roofs.
-
Punta Bonfiglio
Walk out here in your first hour to see the village in one view before you start on the lanes.
-
Santuario di Nostra Signora della Salute
The vineyard walk needs an end point, and this church in Volastra gives you one to step into before the bus or the path back down.
-
Volastra
From the top of the terraces you look down the whole slope of vines to the sea.
