The Amalfi Coast is probably Italy's most beautiful coastline. Moreover, the Costiera Amalfitana is located on the southern side of the Sorrento Peninsula, protected from the cold northern winds by its impressive mountains, and therefore has a wonderful climate all year long. Therefore this tour is a good option for a great walk already in early Spring or in late Autumn.

The landscape is immensely varied and surrounded by infinite ever changing views. It can be typical Mediterranean, intoxicated by wild perfumed herbs, with myrtle shrubs, thyme, rosemary and mastic trees, or almost alpine with meadows and bare rocks. And there's cultural heritage abound! Man has created a stunning mosaic terraced landscape, which nothing can compare with.  And beautiful little churches, ruins of castles and old farmhouses are found all over… The Costiera Amalfitana is definitely Europe's most dramatic stretch of coastline ! And the best thing is, everything can be discovered on foot!

There are thousands of footpaths on the Amalfi coast, some which are famous such as the "Sentiero degli Dei" - the "Pathway of the Gods" - or are at least a thousand years old, like the "Maestra dei Villaggi" - the 'main road' of the medieval sea Republic of Amalfi. But also those less known are just as beautiful! Going from the sea to the mountains or vice versa, there are always stupendous views, and you'll walk through little villages, vineyards and olive groves, Mediterranean scrubs and woods, living rocks and chestnut woods.

This walking tour can be considered the 'classic' tour along the coast, which takes in all the famous coastal villages and the most beautiful walks to made in the area, some of which listed among the 'world's best walks'. You'll have the time to visit the villages which are a must to see: Amalfi itself, but also Atrani, wonderfully preserved through the centuries, Ravello with its magnificent villa's, the quiet Praiano and of course the scenic and fashionable Positano. You will walk along well maintained footpaths, often paved alleyways, through attractive countryside, with wonderful terraced lemon groves, vineyards and cultural treasures like rural chapels, ancient farm houses, old water mills and wonderful villa's and villages, where you can sit down and relax with a drink.
