Manarola, Cinque Terre National Park, Italy
When it comes to little fishing villages, chances are, you won't find more picturesque opportunities than in Italy's Cinque Terre National Park.
Even without spectacular clouds, the town of Manarola ranks amongst the best of the best and boasts plenty of colorful houses tugged away in the steep, rugged coast, a neat little access point to the Mediterranean Sea and a sheer endless maze of narrow streets. All it needed to unsheathe the natural beauty of this little coastal town was the Earth's shadow from the sun rising over the Apennine mountain range to the east.
