Vernazza is probably the next biggest town after Monterosso. It's a small and charming fishing village, and the only town with a proper port. It also has a small beach right in the centre of the town. There are no cars in the village at all, so really the only way in and out is by train or the trail.
A lot of people choose to stay here as it's known as the most picturesque town, and also has some good restaurants. The town is centred around the main square and the port, where there lots of bars and cafes. It's also where people can swim off the rocks and the tiny sand beach.
There are also lots of lovely shops selling jewellery and Tuscan pottery. There really was amazing pottery in Tuscany, we wanted to bring back heaps of platters and olive oil bottles, but there was no way they'd fit in our suitcase!
Vernazza is also the place that I really needed to go to the bathroom, but all they had was unisex squat toilets! Really just holes in the ground. Hmmm. I decided to hold until we got back to Monterosso! Luckily I can hold for a REALLY long time.
