travel europe italy liguria the cinque terre riomaggiore harbor swim

Just below the apartments we rented in 2017 was a beautiful clear "swimming hole" within the protection of the harbor.
We accessed it from a rock promintary a few feet outside our door.
The water was cool and refreshing and we could dive or jump off the rocks...
not the "high" jump that some young men were doing from a higher cliff to the right of our apartments.
