Discovering the Amalfi Coast – four unmissable walks

Welcome to the sun-drenched splendour of Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Nestling between the deep blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the verdant slopes of the Lattari mountains, this region offers an unrivalled natural landscape. Renowned for its villages perched on sheer cliffs, its secluded coves with crystal-clear waters and its fertile hills adorned with vineyards and olive groves, the Amalfi Coast dazzles adventurers with its striking beauty.

When visiting this beautiful region, there are three utterly unmissable hikes. Each one transports you into a unique and captivating world. Use this Collection as your entry ticket!

The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) links the villages of Bomerano and Nocelle. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the spectacular cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. You’ll be walking in the footsteps of mythical gods, so let yourself be enchanted by the magic of this legendary path.

Next, the Sentiero dei Limoni (Lemon Trail) plunges you into a fruity paradise as it winds through fragrant lemon orchards. This is your chance to admire the shimmering colours of the ripe fruit hanging from the branches, while the heady scent of the lemons perfumes the air.

Finally, an escape into the Valle delle Ferriere (Ferriere Valley) takes you to an oasis of greenery. This trail takes you through a protected nature reserve, where waterfalls cascade down the path, creating a soothing symphony of sounds.

To make the most of these three walks, it's essential to book your accommodation as early as possible, especially during the summer months. You'll find a wide variety of accommodation options, from charming, family-run hotels to bed & breakfasts and ‘agriturismos’ – typical farmhouses offering traditional accommodation and meals.

The Amalfi Coast is well-served by public transport, with buses and ferries connecting the various towns and villages. Buses are a convenient and economical way to get around the region, while ferries allow you to admire the beauty of the coastline from the sea. If you prefer more independence, car hire may be an option, but bear in mind that the winding, narrow roads can be a real challenge.

The best times to discover the Amalfi Coast are spring and autumn; from late April to June and from September to October. During these seasons, you'll enjoy pleasant temperatures, a mild climate and fewer tourists. Avoid the high summer season, from July to August, when temperatures can be very high and tourist crowds can make visits less peaceful.

Bring comfortable hiking boots, water and a camera to capture these magical moments. I hope you’ll discover these mythical trails and connect with the nature around you during an exhilarating adventure in the heart of Italy.

Enjoy your trip!
