Discover the highlights of Italy's Amalfi coast on foot.
Those on group flights fly to Naples, where they will be met by their tour leader on arrival. A transfer of approximately 1 hour 20 minutes takes us to the Hotel Due Torri, our base for the week in the village of Bomerano, on the Agerola plains above the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy a warm welcome from our local hosts, the Acampora family, before settling in. Land only clients can arrive at any time, although we do recommend to join the group at the airport as public transport options to the hotel are limited.
From the hotel, it's a short stroll to the village square (or in the case of Bomerano, a triangle) and the start of today’s walk. The circular route provides a good chance to stretch the legs; following a mixture of paths and tracks we ascend to the top of Monte Tre Calli to be rewarded with spectacular wide-open views of the jagged coastline and seemingly endless blue sea. The Agerola Plain and the village of Bomerano are laid out below us and on a clear day, we can see as far as the famous island of Capri, a haven and idyllic hideaway for many celebrated artists and writers over the past 200 years. After admiring the majestic scenery descend to Bomerano and enjoy some rest time before a hearty dinner.

Start walking towards Amalfi, a town popular with the British since Edwardian times when the upper classes favoured it as a pleasant place to spend their winters. The route has a downhill bias, following the path from Bomerano at 700m to the shores of the Mediterranean, accompanied by wonderful coastal views. There are sections of steps today (approx. 2000 in total), but there are also plenty of opportunities to rest and go at your own pace. On arrival, you will see the large Duomo (Cathedral) dominating the town with its brightly-coloured tiled cupola (dome), which along with the baroque facade and interior, is a typical example of regional architecture. Take some time to explore the town, swim in the small bay, or enjoy a well-earned gelato before taking the transfer back to Bomerano.

Transfer to the Bay of Naples, the area spanning between the region’s capital city, Naples, and the town famed for its lemon groves, Sorrento. Situated on the lower foothills of the volcano dominating the Gulf, Pompeii was a thriving port town until Vesuvius’ catastrophic eruption spanning two days in 79AD during which the city was buried in ash and pumice. Lost for 1700 years, Pompeii is now a UNESCO World Heritage site as the perfectly preserved remains give us an amazing insight into life in a Roman city, complete with bathhouses, bakeries, and homes – some of which still have walls adorned with detailed frescoes. You may take some time to explore the site this morning, perhaps opting for a detailed tour accompanied by a local guide. After lunch, travel by bus high up onto the slopes of Vesuvius to view the volcanic crater. Depending on weather conditions, it may be possible to take one of the many extended walks around the caldera and beyond, led by an expert volcanologist (optional).
Today's walk starts in Ravello, a town much favoured by the Bloomsbury set and other artists and intellectuals due to its secluded location and inspirational scenery. Before setting off for the walk we have some free time to explore the town and visit Villa Cimbrone or Villa Rufolo with their meticulously landscaped gardens and breath-taking views out to the sea (optional). The route today is mostly downhill but it does include a considerable amount of steps. After descending and taking a quick stop in the village of Pontone, we continue through wooden bridges and shady paths carpeted with wild flowers in season, to the beautiful moss-clad waterfalls within the closed gates of the Valle delle Ferriere National Park. Finally, following the stream gently downwards through lemon groves, past the shells of former paper factories (a major local industry from the 12th to 19th centuries) and mediaeval ironworks we reach Amalfi.

Today we have a day at leisure to relax at the hotel or go down to the seafront. The hotel also offers private transfers (payable locally) to the most popular attractions in the region not covered during the rest of the week, including the city of Herculaneum. Also destroyed during the disaster of 79AD, Herculaneum was buried in mud rather than ash and it is said that this lead to the site being even better preserved than the bigger Pompeii. You might instead choose to take a ferry to the chic island of Capri and the funicular through lemon groves up to Capri town. These optional excursions can be arranged locally by your leader. Alternatively, spend the free day by the pool or in true Italian style in a café, sipping espresso and watching the world go by!
A fitting finale to the week is one of the world's finest day walks. Leaving the hotel it's a short stroll through the quiet village of Bomerano before we join the ‘Sentiero degli Dei’ (Walk of the Gods), thus named as it provides some of the most evocative views in the world, of ragged cliffs speckled with tiny villages and extensive views of the sparkling Mediterranean sea. The route follows undulating hills, carpeted with flowers in season, the contours of the land, and the coast. The trail is broken by insights into local life, passing shepherds huts and ancient stone houses carved into the limestone before we descend a long series of steps to the colourful Positano, an almost vertical town clinging to the rock face of a sheltered bay. Take some time to explore the alleyways lined with wisteria and designer boutiques or have a dip in the clear water of the beachfront before returning to Bomerano by boat and bus (seasonal) in the late afternoon. During the week many meals will have included some delicious local smoked mozzarella cheese and before dinner, we will have the chance to see how it is made and taste the mouth-wateringly fresh final product.

Activity Level: 2 (Leisurely/Moderate) 4 days centre-based walking with low
altitude throughout.The Amalfi Coast is home to some of the best-loved walks
in Europe; the varied scenery and temperate climate make this a heaven for
hikers and ramblers. The pace of the walks allows time to rest and enjoy the
views, however, the terrain encountered on some of the paths is similar to
what you may find on a moderate walking trip.The terrain and type of path
will vary from man-made paved tracks and tarmac to forest trails. Whilst most
walks are manageable for those with a good level of fitness, the walks
involve some steep climbs and descents on slightly loose terrain and some
have sections on narrow pathways alongside some sheer drops (not recommended
for severe vertigo sufferers). Optional walks on Mount Vesuvius are on rocky
cinder/gravel trails and likely to be loose underfoot, with steep sections
and quite large drops in places.On most days, there are considerable sections
of steps (over 1500), which make the walks unsuitable for those with knee
problems. Walks usually take between 4 and 6 hours including lunch stops
(depending on the pace of your group) and require a good level of fitness.
Summer temperatures can make some of the walks more strenuous. If you are
concerned about the difficulty of the walks we recommend calling us to
discuss the trip in more detail. Please note that due to the high demand for
this tour, on some weeks we may lay on a second group departure, which will
follow an alternative itinerary. This includes the same excursions but taken
in a different order, usually reverse.
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.
All breakfasts, 4 packed lunches, and 6 dinners are included.Breakfast is
continental style with a choice of cereal, bread, pastries, yoghurt, orange
juice, and milk with an array of teas/coffee. Included packed lunches usually
consist of a sandwich filled with a choice of cold meats, tuna, or local
cheeses. All evening meals are taken in the hotel, where the standard is
excellent and the chef takes great pride in showcasing the best of regional
foods, including dishes such as ‘Scialatielli all'amalfitana’ (homemade

the famous Neapolitan pizza. Please note that drinks are not included with
meals but available to purchase. Vegetarians are well catered for in Italy.
Transfers to and from the airport will be in a private vehicle (normally a
minibus or coach). On other days, private buses and boats will be used.

in AgerolaYour trip normally starts at our accommodation in Agerola in
the afternoon of Day 1 of the itinerary. Details of how to reach the start
point are provided in the Final Joining Instructions ‐ sent approximately
two weeks before departure.
Airport transfers are included for those on the group flights.If you require
airport transfers, you may (by prior arrangement only) be able to join the
group transfer. Transfers are arranged to coincide with the arrival time of
the group flight - please check the group flight details 2 weeks before
departure. If you do not take this transfer, or miss it, you must make your
own way to the joining point at your own expense.It is possible to reach the
start hotel using the public bus or train network but unfortunately, the
connections to Bomerano (Agerola) are very limited and services not always
reliable. For this reason, we strongly recommend joining the group transfer
at the airport if possible. Alternatively, you can contact the Exodus
Customer Operations team prior departure to arrange a private pick-up
transfer on arrival. This costs between £80-120 depending on the number of
people sharing the vehicle and it is payable to Exodus prior to departure.
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 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.

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 the 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.Optional activities payable

drivers (please allow approx. €10 per person for the week). Groups normally
like to show their appreciation for hotel staff by leaving a tip at the end
