I'm wondering if there are any options for boat travel (either private or ferry) from cinque terre to Monaco? Are there options for helicopter rides as well? I would like to do this route not by train or car. Thank you.
Stephanie, Anything is possible if you have the money. How much were you planning to spend for transportation on this leg of your trip? For one example, have a look at www.airstreamjets.com/private-business-charter-helicopter.aspx (I didn't see any prices, but you can be sure it won't be cheap!). Happy travels!
This, at least, will get you to Portofino from Cinque Terre. http://www.navigazionegolfodeipoeti.it/orario.asp?lang=eng (This little graphic is sooo cute!)
