Our guided trek covers approximately 70km/43 miles, walking in one direction from east to west high along the Amalfi Coast. We begin in Maiori and hike along the Path of the Lemons to Ravello and then on to Amalfi. We then spend two nights in San Lazzaro, 600m above the sea overlooking the Bay of Salerno. We follow the famous Walk of the Gods to the picturesque town of Positano and then on to the beautiful town of Sant’Agata with a laid-back feel and lovely restaurants. The final stretch of our trek takes us to the furthest point along the Amalfi Coast to Punta Campanella where all you can see is the sea and the Island of Capri.
We have hand-picked good 2 & 3 star hotels: all are family owned and all have en-suite bathrooms. We have chosen to include some evening meals but have left a few others so that we can venture out and try some of the excellent local Italian restaurants.
The trek follows well-defined historic trails, such as ancient stairways and mule tracks, passing old hermitages and convents. Some sections are rocky underfoot, some not so defined and some can be a bit over-grown with grasses: the route is not a standard tourist trail. You walk through chestnut forests, lemon and olive groves and see terraces of vineyards carved into the hillsides. You will visit the historic towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano.
This is a seldom-followed hike, but connects some of the most beautiful coastal trekking in Europe coupled with the history of the region. The Southern Italians are welcoming and kind and you can enjoy some really good food and wine.
Throughout the trip you are lead by a qualified trekking Guide.
