The Amalfi Coast is considered by most to be Italy’s most beautiful stretch of coastline. It has an amazing combination of sea, picturesque coastal towns, mountains, and magnificent culture and nature. The landscape of the Amalfi Coast is dramatic, varied and surrounded by ever-changing vistas. It can be typical Mediterranean vegetation with myrtle bushes, thyme, rosemary and mastic trees, or almost alpine with meadows and bare rocks. Hiking trails are often lined with lemon groves, from which the famous local drink Limoncello is made. There are thousands of hiking trails in the area and we have tried to select the best possible routes, where you both hike along the coast, and a bit up in the mountains with fantastic views of the sea and landscape, e.g. from the famous ‘Sentiero degli dei’ – the walking path of the gods. You will of course visit charming coastal villages such as Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, Praiano and of course the beautiful Positano.
The trip can also be extended a few days to be combined with Capri or a few nights in Positano.
