ITINERARY
DAY one
Arrive in Amalfi
The town of Amalfi can be reached via a ferry from Salerno or a direct bus service from Naples. Once a grand, wealthy maritime republic, much of Amalfi tumbled into the sea after an earthquake in the 14th century. Now a tiny harbour town with huge character, cobbled streets are packed with craft shops, purveyors of limoncello and restaurants serving local seafood dishes. The centrepiece of Amalfi is the cathedral which is dedicated to St. Andrew after his relics were brought to Amalfi during the fourth crusade of the 13th century.
Accommodation: Albergo L’Antico Convitto
DAY two
Walk the Valley of the Mills to Ravello and return to Amalfi
Ease into your first day of walking with a hike to the sophisticated hillside town of Ravello. Walk through the cobbled streets of Amalfi and ascend the ‘Valley of the Mills’ trail where you can see the ruins of 13th-century water-powered paper mills. The route continues to ascend many stone staircases, which have been used for centuries to transport goods to the villages high above. In Ravello, visit the 11th century garden of Villa Cimbrone. With some of the best views of the coastline, this exquisite villa was often frequented by Winston Churchill, Salvador Dali and DH Lawrence. On leaving Ravello, you have the option to return to Amalfi on foot or take a short bus journey.
Walk: 10km
Ascent: 750m
Descent: 750m
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Albergo L’Antico Convitto
DAY three
Walk the Valle Delle Ferriere
Begin the day with a short journey to the oldest village on the coast, Scala. Here join a trail that heads deep into the Valle delle Ferriere. Prior to the 18th century, the valley was a hive of industry, as ironworks and paper mills used the abundance of waterfalls and streams to power their factories. With a loss of monopoly, the factories closed and as such, lush, tropical vegetation reclaimed the valley. In this subtropical environment, follow a route lined with giant ferns, moss clad limestone and ancient flowers. The village of Pogerela marks the end of your exploration for today. Sitting above Amalfi, you can choose to return by bus or descend on foot.
Walk: 10.5km
Ascent: 380m
Descent: 755m
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Albergo L’Antico Convitto
DAY four
Monte Tre Calli
The day begins with a private transfer to the hill town of Bomerano, nestled in the Monti Lattari mountains. From the tree-lined piazza walk through sleepy back streets as the route winds upwards through vineyards, lemon groves and onto a rugged hill path. The steady climb summits Monte Tre Calli, where there are spectacular 360°views across the peninsula to Capri Island, Positano and Salerno. A superb walk, away from the crowds, there are plenty of great picnic spots to kick back and enjoy the mountain vistas before returning to Bomerano.
Walk: 9km
Ascent: 620
Descent: 620m
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: B&B Mamaral
DAY five
Walk the Path of the Gods to Positano
One of Europe’s best balcony walks, the ‘Path of the Gods’ starts from the village of Bomerano and ends at the sublime town of Positano. Head out onto trails punctuated with sections of vineyards, chestnut and fig tree forests. Just a little over halfway, you’ll reach the hamlet of Nocelle where you can see the pink buildings of Positano cascading down into the sea. Descending into Positano pass by colourful artisan market stalls as you head to the beachfront cafes of Marina Grande.
Walk: 9.5km
Ascent: 430m
Descent: 1000m
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Hotel Albertina
DAY six
Positano Exploration or Capri Island Walks
Today we transfer you by local ferry to the Isle of Capri. This is only available from April to October. Famed for being a celebrity hangout, beyond the lavish streets of Capri is an island of immense beauty. With a choice of routes, follow rugged trails to Monte Solaro (the highpoint of the island) or weave your way to the northeast corner where you can visit Villa Jovis built by the Roman Emperor, Tiberius in 27AD. Later, stroll back to the ostentatious centre, leaving time for an Aperol Spritz before catching the ferry back to Positano. Booking the ferry info is supplied with the notes.

ACCOMMODATION & DINING
During this tour, you will spend each night in small family-run guesthouses and 3* hotels. Chosen for their location, facilities and history, each accommodation is used to welcoming walkers. Many of them will be family-run so your hosts are very knowledgeable about the Amalfi region and they will always be happy to chat with you about the history of the Amalfi region. Of course, you can always call us too should you need anything during your walk. As Amalfi is a very popular destination, we may have to book another similar accommodation of equal standard. We will discuss these options with you during the booking process.
You will be provided with 6 breakfasts. You can choose from the array of options in Amalfi for your lunch and dinner. Fresh dishes of scialatielli pasta and clams paired with local bianco wines are a must. Lunches are available at various cafes or food stores daily. There are numerous places to get dinner each night; your hosts will give you a list of recommendations if you’d like. If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know at the time of booking so we can let your hosts know. Should you have severe food allergies, it’s always worth bringing a few of your own snacks with you.
GENERAL INFO
AVAILABILITY
This walk is available from late April to the end of June and mid-August through to October.
Not available from 1st July – 22nd August.
From April into June days are warm and sunny (up to 30 degrees) with the flowers in full bloom. You may find that earlier in the season you can encounter a few rainy days, but generally, the piazza’s buzz with life and are perfect for enjoying an al fresco dinner. From late August into September the summer crowds have thinned and the intense summer heat has cooled. Being on the coast, it isn’t uncommon for Amalfi to experience thunderstorms during summer days, so you should always be prepared for changeable conditions.
THE WALKING
We grade this walk as moderate. A moderate active lifestyle makes the walking enjoyable, an exercise regime of 2 to 3 times a week is needed. The daily routes you will follow are well defined. Many sections of the walk will have prolonged sections of stone staircases that you will ascend and descend. Many will have a handrail (though not always). You will also walk along rocky mountains trails, forest paths and the balcony trail ‘Path of the Gods’ which in some parts have a feeling of exposure. The Path of the Gods is a balcony cliff path walk, so if you suffer from severe vertigo this day of walking is not for you (you can use the ferry or bus to travel between and Amalfi and Positano). You will be walking on forest trails and through the towns and villages of the Amalfi coast. It is commonplace in Italy that there are no separate footpaths (even in the towns) which means you will often be walking on the roads. Please always be mindful of all road users when doing so. For each of the walks, you will be provided with daily walk notes, a map and the GPX tracks if you require to use them for your own device.
