Overview of Walking the Amalfi Coast
Explore the Amalfi Coast from another perspective on this hillside hike through the rocky hinterland of a region renowned for its beachside beauty, but relatively undiscovered when it comes to its upcountry delights. Hike the Walk of the Gods, travel from Ravello to Positano, enjoy magnificent coastal views, take ancient paths and stairways linking villages and farms, wander through secluded hamlets, feast on seaside seafood dinners, and sip espresso in village squares.
