Independent walks on Italy's magnificent Amalfi Coast
Fly to Naples then transfer (optional, extra expense) to our base in the sleepy village of Bomerano; Agerola.
After breakfast, start your walk to Amalfi and the glorious coast. Today has a downhill bias as you follow the path down from Bomerano at 700m to the shores of the Mediterranean and the town of Amalfi. Wonderful views of the Amalfi Coast accompany you as you follow the trail. There are sections of steps today (approx. 2000 in total). Amalfi itself has been popular with the British since Edwardian times when the upper classes favoured the town as a pleasant place to spend their winters. The large Duomo (Cathedral) dominates the town with its bright coloured tiles so typical of the region. You will arrive in time to explore the town, take a swim or enjoy a well-earned ice cream before returning to Bomerano by bus.

From the front door of the hotel it's a short stroll to the village square (or in the case of Bomerano, a triangle) and the start of your walk. Following a mixture of paths and tracks you ascend to the top of Monte Tre Calli, where you are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the coastline and the sea. The Agerola Plain and the village of Bomerano is laid out below you and looking west on a clear day you can see the famous island of Capri at the westernmost tip of the Sorrento Peninsula.

For your first free day you may choose to visit the amazing city of Pompeii which, during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in AD 79, was completely buried in ash and pumice. Lost for 1700 years, Pompeii's perfectly preserved remains give us an amazing insight into the life of a Roman city. You may also wish to add on a trip to Mount Vesuvius and walk up to the volcano crater. Depending on the weather conditions, you may choose to be led by a specialist Volcano guide through one of the many incredible walks around the crater of Vesuvius. Private transfers to these sites are bookable locally. On occasion, travellers may (by prior arrangement and for a fee of €35 per person, entrance fees to the sites excluded) be able to join the Walking The Amalfi Coast (TDA) group tour transfers, however this is on request and subject to availability. Please speak to the hotelier after your first briefing if you wish to join the group transfers to/from Pompeii and Vesuvius. Alternatively you could enjoy a boat ride along the coast from Amalfi (available from Easter to October), visit the majestic island of Capri, or spend the day relaxing by the hotel pool!
Today you may enjoy one of the world's finest day walks. Leaving from your front door step it's a short stroll through the quiet village of Bomerano before beginning the Walk of the Gods. The route follows the contours of the land for the majority of the day with amazing views of the Amalfi Coastline far below. In season the hillside is carpeted with flowers and the coastal waters teem with cruisers and pleasure boats. Your destination today is Positano, an almost vertical town of colourful buildings reached by a network of ancient paths and tracks. On the way there is plenty of time to admire one of the most beautiful views of the Amalfi Coast before descending a long series of steps into Positano. You will have time to explore before returning in the late afternoon; you may even choose to take a boat trip back to Amalfi.

You have a choice today; relax by the pool or take one of the excursions mentioned in the routebook, alternatively you can enjoy a more difficult walk to the Valle delle Ferriere National Park. This walk is steep and rocky and must only be done in (and after) good weather as the ground can become slippy. After a short climb up a set of steps passing farmhouses and terraced vegetable patches, you will reach a hillside of extensive chestnut groves, where you will be rewarded with beautiful views across the valley and down to the distant coastline. Following the hillside through the groves, make the most of the shady trails before emerging at a rocky viewpoint. You then descend along a rocky path (steep in parts) and walk through woodland where you may see wild flowers and herbs growing. Over a river, and through the National Park boundary fence, discover a lush enclave within a gorge harbouring a beautiful moss-clad waterfall. From here the path to Amalfi is well marked and of a gentle gradient. Shells of former paper factories give way to colourful terraces of vegetables and lemon trees nestled beside quaint houses. The rest of the afternoon is free to explore Amalfi, take a boat trip to the nearby Grotta Smeralda, or enjoy a refreshing gelato.

Ravello is home to the most classic views of the Amalfi coast. You will take the bus down to Amalfi where your walk begins. Passing through the village of Atrani, you will make your way up through the cobbled streets and alleyways before arriving at Ravello; a beautiful town that became a retreat for countless stars of the silver-screen. You may like to take the opportunity to visit the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and see the magnificent Duomo or stop for lunch in a café before heading back to Amalfi via the high route, passing some incredible views and the historic Torre dello Ziro on the way.

5 days optional centre-based walking with low altitude throughout. All walks
take between 4 and 6 hours including lunch stops and require a reasonable
level of fitness. This is a self-guided tour, so you can walk at your own
pace (we recommend taking plenty of time to rest and enjoy the views!). On
some of the walks the terrain encountered is similar to the one you would
find on a moderate walking trip, hence the Leisurely/Moderate grade. The
terrain and type of path will vary from man made paved tracks, tarmac to
forest trails. On a couple of days, there are considerable sections of steps
(some of which can be avoided by taking the bus). We try to give as much
information as possible in the route notes but we always recommend you
consult the weather forecast and speak to a member of the local staff before
attempting any of the more rocky walks.
Hotel Due Torri We spend 7 nights at the 3-star Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano, a small village
in the municipality of Agerola set high above the Amalfi Coast at an altitude
of approximately 700m. Run by the warm and welcoming Acampora family, the
Hotel Due Torri is well known for its great local cuisine, providing
authentic dishes of the Campania region as well as fun pizza-making
demonstrations. All rooms have en suite facilities, air conditioning, TV
with international channels, and free Wi-Fi.A limited number of superior
rooms (with facilities including Jacuzzi bath, power showers, and fridge) are
also available for a supplement from £180 or equivalent per room payable
pre-departure. Please ask your sales consultant for further info.Being higher
up in the hills the property offers the benefit of cooler nights, although
beaches are not too far away and there is a small outdoor pool (usually open
from mid-April to mid-October, weather dependent). The village is generally
quiet and provides a relaxing contrast to the busier towns by the sea.On
occasion, if the hotel is full you might be offered (upon booking) to stay at
an alternative accommodation located within walking distance from the Due
Torri. Guests staying at alternative accommodation will still make use of all
the facilities of Hotel Due Torri, including the pool and restaurant.

Southern Italy, in common with a lot of the Mediterranean, possesses a hot,
dry climate in summer and cooler but slightly damper spring and autumn
periods. At coastal levels winters are mild and damp. Rainfall is most
expected in winter months with an average of one day in three affected.
Unseasonable cold spells are possible at any time of year, during which time
you will need warm clothes, especially in Bomerano where evening temperatures
can be lower than expected. It is very important to be equipped for cooler
weather in early spring, late autumn and winter.

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 €1.00 and €2.00 per person per night. For this trip, please allow
between €10 and €15, depending on the season, for the week. Children and
people aged 75 or over are exempt from this tax.
Tipping is expected but not compulsory. Most local guides rely on tipping as
part of their wages, so we recommend a minimum of €10 per group for guides
at Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. Private bus drivers also expect a small tip,
(€1-2 each). It is also possible to leave a tip for local hotel staff.
