My husband and I plan to travel from Bergen to Cinque Terre in Sept. Seeking advice on two decisions:
1. what's the best town to stay to explore 5 towns AND neighboring costal resorts such as Porto Venere and Portofino? We will have 3 nights in CT. Our original plan was Monterossa but I also read that La Sepzia is most convenient for train connections.
2. which airport (Genoa? Milan? Pisa?) offers the most direct (no transfer) train route to either La Spepzia? Monterossa?
Many thanks in advance.
