Tourists are banned from walking Italy's famous Cinque Terre coastline in flip-flops and could be fined up to £2,000 if they break the law.
The decision has been made after mountain rescue units complained of hikers who get caught out with inappropriate footwear on the craggy terrain in Liguria.
Bosses at the picturesque national park will crack down on those who do not heed their advice with fines starting at £40 and rising to £2,000.
