Amalfi Coast Walking Holidays

Arrive in Sorrento via public transport (bus or train).

Arrive on the island of Capri, from the ferry crossing at Sorrento.

Choose between two walks – one with an optional extension.

Walk A: circular walk to Tiberio’s Roman Villa Jovis (3.3 miles/ 5.3km)
Atop the second highest peak, within a secluded part of the island, encounter the luxury retreat of the Emporer Tiberius before the route joins a clifftop path, offering sweeping views over the Gulf of Naples.

Walk B: coastal walk from Anacapri to Punta Carena (4 miles/ 6.5km)
A clifftop route with far-reaching views over the Mediterranean, the stack of Faraglioni, the Gulf of Naples and the cliffs between Monte Saloro and Punta Carena. From here, you return by bus to Anacapri to reach Capri or Marina Grande.

Walk C: Punta Carena to Blue Grotto (optional 3.7 miles/ 5.9km extension)
This path clings to the coast, one of the most spectacular trails on the island, with views over the coast from the cliffs and 19th century military forts.

Private transfer from Sorrento to Sant’Agata, leading to a route along the beach at Marina del Cantone via Punte Campanelle. From your vantage point of the coastal route, you’ll find views over the Mediterranean to Capri Island, the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius.

Today’s walk loops around the wild and rugged beauty of the bay, following rocky trails along the coast in this conservation area. The area is tucked out of the way, well off the tourist trail and the bay itself is ideal for a swim after a long day out walking.

Old country lanes, olive and lemon groves make up the walking routes through the hills of the Colli San Pietro – an inland walk with views high above the shoreline. This is one of the most pastoral routes, with wild flowers and Mediterranean fauna overrunning the path edges.

From Bomerano to the vibrant mountainside village of Positano, ‘The Path of the Gods’ is possibly the most renowned of all walking routes on the Amalfi Coast, its dramatic panoramic views from the clifftops being one of the most memorable experiences of walking this route.

There is an option of two walks through the Valle delle Ferriere:
Option A:
A short, circuit track that leaves ample time to explore the town of Ravello that afternoon.
Option B:
A longer loop that takes you through to the bay of Salerno and the clifftops of the Amalfi Coast (+1.5km if starting from Amalfi).

Departure from Amalfi following breakfast.
