This linear self-guided walk follows the coast from elegant Amalfi to chic Sorrento.
Arrive at your gorgeous 4 star hotel in Amalfi. There's time for a dip in the swimming pool, offering stunning views, before dinner (Pay locally for dinner).* (Staying at the Hotel Miramalfi)*
A 20 min bus ride (pay locally) to picture perfect Ravello where your walk begins. Time to view the famous Villa Rufolo and Greta Garbo's legendary retreat, Villa Cimbrone, before descending through citrus groves to Torre dello Ziro (the Saracen watchtower inspired Webster's Duchess of Malfi), then along panoramic terraces, to enter the Valley of the Mills (a testament to Amalfi's medieval paper industry).* (Staying at the Hotel Miramalfi) *

We will drop you off in Bomerano to begin today's walk which takes you along the Path of the Gods, the region's most famous walk offering views all the way along the peninsula, with Capri's famous Faraglioni cliffs marking 'land's end'. There's a choice of picnic spots with stunning views as you continue onwards past lemon groves and brigands' treasure troves to Nocelle. Then it's down through lush terraces to the vertical pastel town of Positano and your hotel in the historic centre.* (Staying at the Casa Albertina)*

Positano's wide pebble beach is perfect for a lazy day, but if you fancy exploring further afield there's a pleasant walk to Fornillo Bay with its twin Saracen watchtowers. Boat excursions to discover coral lined sea grottoes, as well as trips to the magical mediterranean island of Capri, are available in the harbour.* (Staying at the Casa Albertina)*
We take you into the hills near Fontanelle (30 mins) from where you wind through olive trees as you climb gently to Sant'Agata. There are balcony views - making this a fantastic picnic stop - of Capri, Procida and the Li Galli islands, once considered to be the home of the mythical sirens who lured sailors onto the rocks. A paved lane finally leads you down past geranium-decked houses to the small fishing resort of Marina del Cantone.* (Staying at Taverna del Capitano)* Optional shorter walk: 4.5hrs, distance 12km/7.5mi

You'll be tempted to linger in this pretty little village with its pebble beach lapped by incredibly azure waters, but it's a shame to miss out on our optional walk on the gorgeous Jeranto Bay. There are sea views throughout as you climb to the Montalto Tower, perched on its 100m-high cliff-top outcrop with a truly fabulous panorama over Marina del Cantone and the Li Galli islands. You then descend through olive groves and olive growers' dwellings to an atmospheric ancient limestone quarry, with great sea views, before a final ascent back to your hotel.* (Staying at Taverna del Capitano) *

We give you a lift (15 mins) to Termini from where you wind through olive groves with ever-opening views over the Bay of Naples and its islands, Capri, Ischia and Procida. It's well worth the detour to lovely little Annunziata to visit its pretty Aragonese castle for wonderful views. It's then on to bustling, pastel-coloured Sorrento, with its enchanting gardens, maze of narrow streets and stunning views over to Vesuvius.* (Staying at the Hotel Continental) * Optional shorter walk: 3hrs, distance 7km/4.5mi

Staying at your 4 star hotel panoramically overlooking Mount Vesuvius, you're ideally placed to visit Naples or one of its islands, such as Ischia or Capri, by hydrofoil. Alternatively the historical sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum can be visited using the excellent Circumvesuviana Railway.* (Staying at the Hotel Continental)*

* Walking transfers
The cuisine on the Bay of Naples uses the freshest vegetables and the famous
mozzarella cheese is always on the menu. Try it in salad with sweet tomatoes,
baked with aubergine slices or on its own with an accompaniment of herbs.
Fresh fruit features heavily too - figs are often used in antipasti along
with slices of ham and what better way to finish off a meal than with a slice
of fresh water melon? Pizza is a favourite dish all over Italy, but nowhere
more so than here (it was invented in Naples!). The thinnest of bases are
cooked in the hottest of wood ovens and are garnished with a mouth-watering
variety of toppings.
The Amalfi Coast itself is not a wine area as such: the terraces are often
too high for the vines to flourish. The region of Campania, however, has a
number of good wines from vineyards further inland. Vines flourish too in the
rich soil near Mount Vesuvio. Look out for Lacrima Christi del Vesuvio.

*No. of days Walking:* 5 (Including two optional walks)
*Terrain:* This holiday follows stone steps, coastal paths and some forest
trails. You need to be a reasonably fit and confident walker, as the frequent
ascents and descents, particularly on the coastal paths, make this a more
demanding holiday than the distances suggest. On day 3 guests with a fear of
heights may have problems with certain sections. Walkers with knee problems
may have difficulty descending the stone steps and walking poles are strongly
reccommended.
Vehicle Support: This is a self-guided trip for those who prefer to walk
independently, but with our assistance to take out the stress of the
logistics and planning. We arrange your accommodations, provide you with a
map and route notes so that you can walk at your own pace.
It is important that you are happy reading maps and following route notes, we
make these as accurate as possible and they are regularly checked.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. There may
be others on the same departure date as you, but you will not be organised
together. The route notes contain a 24-hour emergency assistance telephone
number should you need it and in emergencies, the local representative is
normally able to dispatch a taxi or pick you up themselves. They may wish to
charge for this service.
Hotels
You stay at carefully picked hotels throughout your Amalfi Coast walking
trip. They range from a family-run clifftop hotel with stunning sea views in
Amalfi, to an elegant 4 star hotel in Sorrento overlooking the panorama of
the Bay of Naples. For your evening meals you can choose to sample the
hotel's specialities or select one of the many fine local restaurants (all
payable locally).
Lunch options are varied and include picnics in panoramic locations or a
trattoria lunch, perhaps delicious mozzarella, grilled vegetables and fresh
fish from the sea.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. A local
representative is on hand to assist you and will meet you at the beginning of
the week to go through the route notes and point out particular places of
interest. Your luggage is transferred and route notes and maps are provided.
Please note: the walking and luggage transfers included in this tour are
subject to a minimum of 2 people (in total) booked on the departure. A
supplement (payable in advance) to cover these transfers and sole occupancy
of a room will apply if only 1 person travelling on a departure date.

Southern Italy, like much of the Mediterranean, has a hot, dry climate in
summer and cooler but sometimes wet spring and autumn periods. Unseasonable
cold spells and rain are possible at any time of year, so we recommend
bringing some warm clothes, especially useful in Bomerano where evening
temperatures can be lower than expected. Summer can be very hot with daytime
temperatures in July and August reaching up to 34-37°C on the coast.
*What to expect in the low season (October – March)*
A common misconception about the Amalfi Coast is that it is very warm and
year round. However, autumn and winter months may be cooler than you’d
expect; although usually milder than Northern Italy, average temperatures in
December, January and February range from lows of around 8°C to highs of
15-17°C. Travellers should be prepared for periods of colder weather (with
temperatures sometimes dropping to 2°C) especially at higher elevations –
there may even be snow atop the Lattari Mountains and sometimes in Bomerano
itself! During the winter up to early spring there is also more rain than
usual (with an average of one day in four affected) but there are still
plenty of enjoyable crisp sunny days. Overall the Amalfi Coast is still a
great destination in winter as the coastline is beautiful year-round and you
have the chance to visit the sights without the summer crowds and traffic.
Small daypack (for water bottle, camera etc)
Lightweight waterproof jacket and wind stopper 2-3 season
Walking boots or trekking shoes with good grip
Long walking trousers (some paths may be overgrown)
Warm clothes for departures between October and March (including a warm hat
and gloves)
Sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen for summer departures
Walking poles are strongly recommended
Water bottle: while mineral water is available at the hotel and shops, it’s
safe to drink the local tap water, so remember to bring refillable water
bottles and keep hydrated during the day
A small umbrella in case of unexpected showers
Swimming costume for pool at the hotel or sea
Beach towel
For lunches not included, you should budget €10-20, depending on whether
you choose a set menu in a café or restaurant.
Approximately €25-30 should be enough for an evening meal including drinks.
LOCAL TAXES: many Italian cities have recently introduced a tourist tax for
non-residents. The local administration is in charge of the tax, which will
be collected by the accommodation provider at check-in or check-out. This fee
varies depending on the hotel category, the season and number of days of
stay. It is usually between €0.50 and €1.50 per person per night. For
this trip, please allow between €5 and €10, depending on the season, for
the week. Children and people aged 75 or over are exempt from this tax.
