Amalfiküste Trekking - 4 Tage

After breakfast, we begin our second day on the Lattari Mountains, and the Amalfi Coast.

From Maiori we walk via the Lemons' Trail, through the picturesque villages of Minori, Ravello, Atrani and Amalfi.

In Minori, we will stop at De Riso pastry shop for an excellent slice of lemon cake of the Amalfi Coast.

­ 

Then, through ancient stairs we will first reach Ravello, where we can take a coffee in the elegant Piazza Duomo, and after we will reach the beautiful Atrani, set in the rocks; finally, through a comfortable and unique path between the roofs and the courtyards of the houses, we will arrive in the center of the queen of the coast, the magnificent Amalfi, where you can visit the Duomo or simply stroll among the many shops of the ancient historical center.

­ 

Transfer back to Maiori, to our overnight accommodation.

Meals included: Breakfast, and Boxed Lunch.

Check out after breakfast, and take a transfer back to Amalfi, and walk up to reach the trail to the Mills’ Valley.

You will climb the ancient stairs and paths, amid lemon trees full of springs and waterfalls amid high cliffs. Within the deep valley we will see several examples of industry from as early as the 10th century, such as the remains of an old aqueduct and ironworks. There are also ruins of several paper factories that remain one of the few links to the history of wealth and power of the medieval Republic of Amalfi.

­ 

On the Valley of the Mills there’s a subtropical microclimate, where you may find Cyclamen, Wild Orchids, Pterris vittata, Pinguicula hirtiflora (a carnivorous plant), Woodwardia Radicans, and Erica terminalis (a rare species of the giant fern which has its origins in the tertiary period).

­ 

From there we get on another trail that will take us up, to the town of Agerola, where we will spend the night.

Today we enjoy a pleasant hike on the most famous trail on the Amalfi Coast: the Path of Gods (Italian: Sentiero degli Dei). Walking across the mountainside, at the foot of the Sant’Angelo a Tre Pizzi mountain, we will admire one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world.

It starts from the square in the hamlet of Bomerano in Agerola. On the first part offers outstanding views of Praiano, Positano, Li Galli islets, and Capri, and the Grotta Biscotto, an old shepherds shelter, built into the rock and inhabited since Prehistoric times.

Along the way we walk in the shade of elm and oak trees surrounded by myrtle and juniper; cross wild precipices full of caves and small vineyards. Here is where the ped’ e palomma grapes are harvested.

During the guided hike, we meet a local shepherd who will share with us a selection of locally sourced produce and a glass of red wine.

Less than 3 hours to reach the small village of Nocelle with Monte Pertuso in front of us, and we have 1,500 steps going down, arriving in the center of Positano. Once there, you may choose to wander its narrow streets, or enjoy an espresso and pastry at a local cafe.

From Positano we'll take a ferry ride along the Amalfi Coast to Salerno.

The Trekking itinerary will end after we take a transfer to your overnight accommodation, in Salerno and/or Cava de' Tirreni.

Meals included: Breakfast, and Lunch.
