The bus to Lerici/San Terenzo leaves from the terminal just across from the central rail station in La Spezia. Two years ago they left every thirty minutes and the trip takes about a half hour to Lerici. You can buy your tickets at the newstand in the station. It is a regular local bus.

Hi
We stayed in Lerici last June and loved it. I was worried about access to the Cinque Terra, but it was fine. We walked a few doors up from our hotel and bought our bus tickets from a newsagents. Outside the shop door was the bus stop and it took 30 minutes tops to reach La Spezia train station. The return journey was also simple (we bought our return tickets with our bus ticket purchase in the morning). We were very lucky as each time we came out of the train station to return to Lerici, the bus was just arriving, so we never waited. The bus left Lerici every 15 minutes (maybe because it was Summer) so we never waited long either way. When we left Lerici we caught a taxi to La Spezia only because we had a lot of luggage, a five year old and it was bucketing down with rain. We were charged 24 euro.
The whole process was very simple and Lerici was one of our favourite places that we stayed.
Cheers
