Day 2 Walk from Cetara to Vietri Sul Mare

This morning, we'll take a short public bus east along the coast to the medieval fishing village of Cetara. It's a traditional fishing village, where for centuries fishermen have caught bluefin tuna, and today there are still many small fishing boats in the harbour. T...

Day 3 Hike on the Path of Lemons and time in Ravello

Today we'll walk from our hotel in Maiori to Minori along the spectacular Sentiero Dei Limoni (Path of the Lemons), with breathtaking views towards Capri and along the Amalfi Coast. The route passes through terraced lemon groves, up and down ancient staircases and thr...

Day 4 Walk through villages of Tramonti, visit cantina for food and wine

A short bus ride inland this morning brings us to Valico di Chiunzi in Tramonti. Tramonti is a traditional farming area, set 300 metres above sea level, with far-reaching mountain views and is a largely unexplored part of the Amalfi Coast region. There are 13 small vi...

Day 5 Free day to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum

Today is a free day to spend as you wish. You might choose to relax in Maiori, visit Amalfi or Positano by bus, or take an optional daytrip to Herculaneum and Pompeii. Both cities were devastated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Pompeii is hailed as on...

Day 6 Walk through the Ferriere Natural Park to Amalfi

This morning, we'll take the public bus to Scala via Amalfi where our walk begins. We'll head upwards, via some steep steps, towards the small village of Minuta. We'll then enter the Ferriere Natural Park, an area which was famed for its papermaking and ironworks. Bot...

Day 7 Hike the Walk of the Gods to Positano

The Walk of the Gods is justifiably regarded as one of the greatest coastal walks in the world and makes a fitting finale to our week on the Amalfi Coast. This morning, we'll head to the village of Bomerano on the Agerola Plain by private bus. From here, the high clif...

Day 8 Trip ends at Naples Airport

Departing Maiori this morning, we'll drive to Naples International Airport (NAP) where we'll arrive about 8.30am - this is where our tour ends. The earliest time you should book a flight to depart today is 10.30am.
