What should I pack when moving to Cinque Terre?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Cinque Terre to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Cinque Terre, you should pack a variety of clothing options suitable for the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the summer months and warmer layers for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes as the area is known for its beautiful hiking trails. A swimsuit is a must for enjoying the beautiful beaches and the crystal clear waters of the Ligurian Sea. Pack your essential toiletries, but keep in mind that you can also buy most items locally. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with copies of your prescriptions. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some specialty items that might be hard to find in Italy, but generally, you can find most cooking essentials there. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or residency paperwork. If you're bringing electronics, don't forget to pack the appropriate power adapters for Italy's electrical outlets. Lastly, consider packing a phrasebook or dictionary to help with the Italian language, and a guidebook to learn more about Cinque Terre and the surrounding areas," wrote a member who made the move to Cinque Terre, Italy.
