ITINERARY
Day One:
Arrival in Salerno. Try to make sure you have enough time to explore this lovely city with its impressive cathedral and botanic gardens, as well as the seafront promenade.
Overnight in Salerno
Day Two: Salerno – Vietri sul Mare - 5km
Today you will have a short private transfer to Vietri sul Mare, famous for its beautiful handmade ceramics. From here you will take a circular walk up the coast and back down to Vietri and its long beach, enjoying the wonderful views and sea breeze and exploring the many interesting villages and hamlets along the way.
Overnight in Vietri sul Mare
Day Three: Sentiero dei Limoni (the lemon path) - 6km
Take a short bus ride to the start of today’s route, the famously beautiful path through the historic lemon groves between the coastal towns of Maiori and Minori. It starts with a steep descent along the old aqueduct and into Maiori, then continues inland across to the charming town of Minori.
Overnight in Minori
Day Four: Minori – Ravello – Amalfi - 10 km
From Minori a long uphill stretch takes you to the town of Ravello perched high on the cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Take a wander around the beautiful town and don’t miss the magnificent Villa Cimbrone Gardens where you can enjoy perhaps one of the best views over the Amalfi coast. Continue along down the coast through ancient fortifications and along cliffside paths down into Amalfi.
Overnight in Amalfi
Day Five: Amalfi – Algerola - 9 km
An uphill start from Amalfi to Pogerola along a shady flight of steps through a chestnut grove. From there take a mountain path through Valle delle Ferriere towards Mount Murillo, followed by a steep set of stairs downhill to the small village of San Lazzaro di Agerola. From there take the public bus back to Amalfi.
Overnight in Amalfi
Day Six: il Sentiero degli Dei – 14 km
Take the public bus to Boerano near Agerola. Today you will discover the most famous trail on the Amalfi Coast, known as ‘the path of the gods’ due to its spectacular coastal views. The path leads down to the village of Nocelle, just outside Positano. Enjoy the rest of your day exploring the delightful resort of Positano before getting the bus back to Amalfi.
