Manarola Sunset Photos – Cinque Terre
If you know anything about the Cinque Terre region in Italy then you will know that the area is famous for it’s sunsets. And if you were following our live blogging from Cinque Terre you might have noticed a few of our favourite instagram photos included sunsets.
In this post we just wanted to share with you our two favourite shots from one of our nights in Cinque Terre. Both were shot from the exact same location but we want you to tell us your favourite.
If you haven’t seen it in a photo somewhere in a glossy magazine or on a travel blog in the last few years then quite frankly I am not sure where you have been.
Combine five incredibly picturesque coastal villages with a splash of paint from the colours of the cutest rainbow you have ever seen. Add a pinch of razor-sharp cliffs with a generous helping of brilliant blue ocean. Mix in a generous dash of Italian sunsets and you have every photographers favourite recipe.

One of the biggest mistakes that a lot of photographers make is that you will be so focused on one direction that you fail to look behind you.

This looks cool!! We are heading to Italy next Thursday and I really wanted to do the Cinque Terre hiking all the way along the coast, but looks like it’s just not enough time for everything
This time focus is on Tuscany, so amazing Cinque Terre will have to wait a little.
You are going to love Tuscany! We just spent a few days there and it was stunning. Dunno if I could choose between the 2 though
The colours on the first photo are amazing! Be great one to paint. x
If only I could paint
It’s so difficult to choose between the two, both are so stunning.
That’s not choosing your favourite
Man, both great shots. I’m a total sucker for the sun over the water though, so that one has to get my vote – love the feel of the shot with the coastline silhoutted and the high clouds. Great stuff!
I think I might be with you on this one Laurence.
WOW! That first one is an AMAZING photo! I could totally see that hanging on my wall.
Hoping to print out a bunch when we get back home to do exactly that! Maybe I need to start creating downloadable wallpapers for readers
Great photos! It’s been a number of years since I’ve been to the Cinque Terre. I never got to Manarola but these are awesome photos!
Manarola is the most picturesque I think Jeremy. You will have to return and see it for yourself soon
Gotta go with the first picture as well. The houses just seem to splash against the cliffs perfectly!
Might have to print them both out and hang them up side by side on my wall then I think.
Ah! Can’t pick a favorite. LOVE the color on the village but the setting sun, source of that color, is a gorgeous shot too. Happy to see we’re not the only ones who take the time to look behind us!
So many great shots have been taken from just a quick glance behind. It’s surprising how things can sneak up on you!
Great shots! But Manarola Village is amazing! Love warm colors of it!
Totally agree because the colours from the houses just seem to make it pop. Sounds cliche but its so true!
I’m glad you turned around for that second shot… but that still leaves 358 other angles you could have taken. Please report back to us all when you get there… thanks.
I could probably discount at least 90 – 120 degrees as shrubs and cliffs but will head back out there boss!
