Itinerary - Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
Day 1 – Travelling to the Amalfi Coast
We depart from Rome at 10am and start our journey south
toward the Amalfi Coast. We have a few interesting stops
along the way.
Our first stop is at Montecassino, site of the major WWII
battle, where we visit the Allies cemetery. Seeing the site of
this famous battle is a real eye opener, and quite moving.
Montecassino
A short drive after lunch takes us to the start of the Amalfi
Peninsula and the town of Vietri Sul Mare. This is the major
ceramic producing town of the Amalfi Coast. The key
production is of the vibrantly coloured ceramics that are made
using the maiolica method. We visit a manufacturer where we
can see the ceramics being produced and painted, continuing a
tradition that started in the 1500s. We see the incredible array
of colours and creative designs of their finished product.
After looking through the town of Vietri Sul Mare we make our
way along the stunning Amalfi Coast road, with hairpin bends
and amazing views in equal measure - you'll realise the value
in having a professional driver for the trip. We reach the town Ceramics of Vietri
of Amalfi in the early evening, where we stay for the duration
of the tour.
The town of Amalfi is really the heart of the Amalfi Coast - the
centre of the marine republic of the 11th century, and still now
it has a proud community living and working here. The depth
of history here is profound, but equally it is a wonderful place
to sit in the piazza, enjoy a coffee and watch the world go by.
Our hotel, the Hotel Residence, is wonderfully situated on the
waterfront. One side you have uninterrupted sea views, and a The road to Amalfi

piazza life. By staying centrally you get to really experience the
vibrancy of this town. You can stroll into town whenever you
like to have a gelato or browse the shops (with no shuttle bus

Outside the hotel is a swimming beach, perfect for relaxing
after a day out sightseeing. Being a 4 star hotel a full range of
features is included, such as wifi, air conditioning, an excellent
restaurant and a cocktail bar.
Tonight we dine together, having our first introduction to the
cuisine of the Amalfi Coast.

Day 2 – Walking the 'Valley of the Mills'
This is our first walking day, and the trails that we follow start
near the town of Scala. Scala is in the hills above Amalfi, we
are driven to this high point as it makes for a fastastic variation
during the day, starting with expansive views and later turning
inland into a forested valley. And another key point - this way
we avoid walking uphill.
The 'Valley of the Mills'
We start by following paths winding through well-tended
vineyards and orchards, passing through several small villages
where life still revolves around working the land through the
seasons. As we are quite high up we have frequent photo
stops so you can capture the rugged beauty of the coastline
below us.
We then enter the Valley of the Mills, a narrow valley that was
historically a hive of industry, with paper mills and iron works.
Today it is largely back to its natural state, but it is fascinating
to see the remains of these historic buildings. Many of the mills
were established in the 1700s, today we see large arches and The lush valley microclimate
buildings emerging evocatively from the forest, along the route
of the river.
Our trail takes us along one side of the valley heading inland,
which gives us a quite different landscape and flora from the
first section of our walk. The head of this valley is a nature
reserve, with a series of waterfalls and lush forest wedged
between dramatic limestone cliffs. This nature reserve protects
rare ferns, which can be seen growing in this shaded and
fertile part of the valley.
We stop for lunch at the cafe associated with a small farm. A refreshment stop
They serve us a lunch featuring a number of products that they
have grown right here in the valley. This is a fascinating place
for lunch - the farm is located on a series of terraces built up
on the valley side. They food produce here that forms the basis
for our lunch includes the special Amalfi lemons called 'sfusato
amalfitano', their honey, and the wild herbs that they collect,
to name just a few. Most people never come across this eating
place, as it is tucked away on a path inaccessible by car.
Later we visit the cathedral, Sant’ Andrea. This is more than
just a church. Rather it is a complex of different buildings from
different era, and is the heart of Amalfi. The Amalfi cathedral crypt
www.italywithpleasure.com
Itinerary - Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
From the evocatively named ‘Cloister of Paradise’, with elegant
marble colonnades, frescoed private chapels and ancient
Roman sarcophagus. The Romanesque style Church of the
Crucifix, this is a 10th century church. Then the crypt where
the remains of Saint Andrew are held. And finally into the
main cathedral, with its elaborate baroque decorations.
For the rest of the afternoon and evening you a free to enjoy
the charms of Amalfi independently, perhaps spend sme time
on the beach, or look around the interesting lanes that weave
under and around ancient buildings as if in a rabbit warren. The 'Cloisters of Paradise'
WALKING DETAILS: SCALA TO AMALFI
The walk is fully guided.
Total Distance: 3.7 miles / 6 km
Duration of walking sections: 2.5 hrs
Terrain: Well formed track, some steps, some gravel surfaces.
Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3 – Strolling the Lemon Terraces & Ravello
After a short drive to the town of Maiori, we walk on of the
prime walks of the Amalfi Coast, the ‘Sentiero dei Limoni! (the Cultivated terraces
‘Path of the Lemons’).
This walk leads you through terraced lemon groves around a
headland, with fantastic views over the coast. The walk today
is not too long or demanding – think of it as a morning stroll.
Walking from one town to the next you get a feel for how
people live on the coast today, these towns have a history
going back to ancient Roman times and have been
continuously inhabited through to today.
On reaching the town of Minori where we have a coffee stop
in an excellent pasticceria, then continue on to the charming
The town of Atrani
town of Ravello.
Ravello is a fascinating town, with quite a different feel to the
other towns on the coast. This stems back to the 11th century
when Ravello split from Amalfi, with many of the noble
families settling in this hill town. We visit together the Villa
Cimbrone, an elegant historic residence with formal gardens.
From the terrace of Villa Cimbrone you have amazing views
down to the sea. Later you have some free time to explore
Ravello independently. Of particular note are the buildings and
gardens of Villa Ruffolo, and the cathedral.
Terrace of Villa Cimbrone
www.italywithpleasure.comItinerary - Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
Or simply wander through some of the lanes, and relax around
the piazza area where there are numerous shops and cafes.
Ravello is famous for vibrant hand-painted ceramics and for
the excellent local wine, both of which can be found in the
specialty shops here. There are also some more elegant
boutiques and galleries, catering to the well-heeled travellers
that frequent Ravello.
WALKING DETAILS: THE SENTIERO DEI LIMONI
The walk is fully guided.
Total Distance: 1.5 miles / 2.5 km Villa Cimbrone, Ravello
Duration of walking sections: 1 hr
Terrain: Sealed path, some steps.
Meals included: Breakfast
Day 4 – Hiking the 'Path of the Gods' & Positano
We drive up to a high point on the Amalfi Peninsula, and from
here we start today’s hike which has the grand title 'The Path
of the Gods' (Sentiero degli Dei’).
On the 'Walk of the Gods'
This is one of the more popular trails on the Amalfi Coast, and
walking along this path high above the sea you’ll see why it
has gained such renown. It commands fantastic views right
out to the island of Capri.
The trail takes you through a mixture of wooded areas as well
as typical Mediterranean countryside, rocky with wild herbs,
flowers and scattered olive trees. Goat herders are often seen
on the grassy terraces tending their flocks, and peregrine
falcons soar high above.
Partway along the trail we stop in at an old farmhouse for a
Looking along the Amalfi Peninsula
lunch, much of which is produced by the proprietors of this
property (they bring supplies to this remote location by
donkey!). This is a special experience as it is not a restaurant
open to the general public, but they are happy to provide
sustenance to our group. As well as that, you won't find a
more pleasant place to stop, it feels like you've been
transported to a different epoch such is the isolation and
tranquility.
The walk is 2 ½ hours duration and finishes in the town of
Nocelle.
Lunch on the trail
www.italywithpleasure.comItinerary - Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
Following the walk we go to Positano. Famous for elegant
fashion boutiques and seaside charm, this has been a holiday
destination for centuries. The afternoon is clear for some free
time in Positano, which has an enviable combination of a
goodbeach with a broad seaside promenade, with cafes and
chic boutiques jostling for position in the pastel coloured
buildings.
This is a good time for a swim. You can spend some of the
afternoon exploring the narrow back streets lined with
bougainvillea, or just find your nearest café, put your feet up Positano
and sample the local specialty –limoncello!
To return to Amalfi we go by boat, and cruising along the
coast reveals a new perspective on the area, with some
incredible houses tucked away and tiny hidden beaches.
WALKING DETAILS: THE PATH OF THE GODS
The walk is fully guided.
Total Distance: 5.6 miles / 9 km
Duration of walking sections: 2.5 hrs
Terrain: Mainly well formed track, some natural rocky sections.
Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch The coast around Positano
Day 5 – Island time in Capri
Today we travel to Capri, a favoured destination for the rich
and famous in recent times, but also with an interesting history
stretching back beyond ancient Roman times.
On Capri we take the funicular railway up to the town centre,
where top fashion boutiques jostle for space alongside locals
selling fruit and vegetables.
Starting from the centre of town we walk out to the Villa Jovis.
Passing a series of luxury villas and gardens, you pass through The ancient Roman Villa Jovis
the outskirts of town and reach the ancient Roman site. The
Villa Jovis was the largest and most sumptuous of the island’s
12 Roman villas and Tiberius’ main Capri residence. A vast
pleasure complex, now reduced to ruins, it famously pandered
to the emperor’s debauched tastes, and included imperial
quarters and extensive bathing areas set in dense gardens and
woodland.
The stairway behind the villa leads to the 330m-high Salto di
Tiberio (Tiberius’ Leap), a sheer cliff from where, as the story
goes, Tiberius had out-of-favour subjects hurled into the sea.
Walking on Capri
www.italywithpleasure.comItinerary - Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
Later in the afternoon you’ll find Capri has plenty of scope for
simply browsing the shops and enjoying the ambience. And
stroll down to the Gardens of Augustus for some more great
views.
We return by ferry to Amalfi late afternoon.
In the evening we have the final dinner, enjoying the best of
Amalfi Coast cuisine and celebrating the week we’ve had in
this special part of Italy.

Day 6 - All Roads Lead to Rome
By now you know the local barista by name - and he knows
which coffee you order - but we must say 'arrivederci' to the
Amalfi Coast and return to Rome.
En route we visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Here we have a
guided visit, where we see both evidences of the lifestyle of
the inhabitants of this Roman city, as well as the destruction
caused by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79AD. Even for those
who have visited Pompeii before, having a specialist
archaeologist guide provides an in depth experience and is

very revealing.
We enjoy a final lunch together in Pompeii, having our last
chance to enjoy regional cuisine, before heading north to
Rome.
We reach Rome around 7pm.
Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch Frescoes in Pompeii
