Amalfi Coast Walking Tour - Itinerary

Day 1 - Travelling to the Amalfi Coast

We meet in Rome and from here we start our journey south
toward the Amalfi Coast. From here we start our journey
south, with 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.
                                                                                 Montecassino
A short drive after lunch takes us to the start of the Amalfi
Peninsula and the town of Vietri Sul Mare. This is where the
famous coloured ceramics are produced, 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 designs of their finished product.

Following a drive along the stunning Amalfi Coast road,
with hairpin bends and amazing views in equal measure,
we reach the town of Amalfi, where we stay for the
duration of the tour.                                                      Ceramics in Vietri Sul Mare

Our hotel is wonderfully situated in the centre of town,
making it easy to come and go as you please. A few steps
away you have ‘la dolce vita’ of Italian piazza life.

In the evening we have a Welcome Dinner, and our first
taste of the superb cuisine of this region.

Meals included: Dinner

Day 2 – Walking through the ‘Valley of the Mills’                                Amalfi piazza

This is our first walking day, and the trails that we follow are
based around the town of Scala. In the morning we are
driven to a high point (so we avoid walking uphill), from
where we follow 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.
                                                                              Walking near Scala

….crafting wonderful tours of Italy
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.

Our trail takes us along one side of the valley heading
inland, which gives us a quite different landscape and flora
from the previous day’s 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.
                                                                                Old paper mills
We reach the town of Amalfi by early afternoon, so there is
plenty of time to explore here independently.

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. 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. The 13th century Crypt of St Andrew, down below
the church, where the remains of Saint Andrew are held.
And finally into the main cathedral, with its elaborate                The head of the Valley of the Mills
baroque decorations.

WALKING DETAILS: PONTONE 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

Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch

Day 2 – Walking through the terraces to Ravello                               Remains of the mills

Today the trails that we follow are based around the town
of Ravello. In the morning we are driven to the town of
Scala, from where we follow 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.
Around midday we reach the charming town of Ravello.
Here you are free to explore Ravello independently during
                                                                           The ‘Cloisters of Paradise’

the afternoon.

Ravello is a fascinating town, with layers of history to be
seen. Of particular note are the buildings and gardens of
Villa Ruffolo, and the cathedral. From the Villa Cimbrone
you have amazing views down to Amalfi. 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
                                                                              The Crypt of St Andrew
specialty shops here.

Later in the afternoon we return to Amalfi.

WALKING DETAILS: SCALA TO RAVELLO
The walk is fully guided.
Total Distance: 4.3 miles / 7 km
Duration of walking sections: 3 hrs
Terrain: Well formed track, some steps

Meals included: Breakfast
                                                                               The piazza in Ravello

Day 4 - Walking the ‘Path of the Gods’ & Positano

We drive up to a high point on the Amalfi Peninsula, and
from here we start today’s walk which has the grand title
'The Path of the Gods' (Sentiero degli Dei’). 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.
                                                                             Villa Cimbrone, Ravello
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. The walk is 2 ½ hours
duration and finishes in the town of Praiano.

Following the walk we go to Positano. Famous for elegant
fashion boutiques and seaside charm, this has been a
holiday destination since Roman times.
The afternoon is clear for some free time in Positano, which
has an enviable combination of a good beach 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.
                                                                           Walking the Path of the Gods

                                    www.italywithpleasure.com
….crafting wonderful tours of Italy
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 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.

                                                                                    Positano

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

Day 5 - Island time in Capri

                                                                                      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 a
monastery that has a view point looking out to the
Faraglioni, the towering rocks emerging from the sea which
are such a distinctive feature of Capri.
                                                                                  The Villa Jovis
We then have a lunch break before heading out to the Villa
Jovis. Passing a series of luxury villas and gardens, you pass
through 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. Today it is Tiberius’ Leap is worth a look for the view.             The ‘Faraglioni’, Capri

                                    www.italywithpleasure.com
….crafting wonderful tours of Italy

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.

                                                                           Walking on Capri

Day 6 - All Roads Lead to Rome
                                                                               Pompeii
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 guide provides an in depth experience and is
very revealing.
                                                                          Frescoes in Pompeii
We enjoy a final lunch together in Pompeii, having our last
chance to enjoy regional cuisine, before heading north to
Rome.

We reach Rome early evening.

Meals included: Breakfast and Lunch

    up to 3 hours, refer to the itinerary for specific details of each day’s walk).
   Have sufficient stability and mobility to be able to walk on uneven surfaces and
    unpaved paths.
   Be able to handle walking on inclines, declines and steps (both ascending and
    descending).

 "I only have praise and good things to say about how wonderful it was.
   The places that we visited were fascinating and very unique, and the
 food and wine was delectable. I didn't know what to expect of the trip,
     but it more than fulfilled any hopes that I had for a great week.
   Everything was well organised and the atmosphere was friendly and
             relaxed. I can thoroughly recommend the tour"
