Cinque Terre - How much time?

We will be in Italy in September and can spend between 2 to 4 days in CT. What would you do?

PJ,

How long to spend will depend to some extent on what you want to see in that area. If you're planning to do a lot of day trips to explore the area, then four days would be good. For an "average" trip, I agree with the previous poster that three days is about right.

Do you like to hike? You can hike for hours and hours if you are so inclined. Day trips to Port Venere, Portofino, Comgli, etc., can eat up two or three days. If you just want to see the 5 towns with minimal hiking, 3 nights/2 full days will do it.
