Walking Holidays in Italy
Italy really has something for everyone: great monuments of antiquity; delicious, fresh food; beautiful coastline on the Mediterranean and Adriatic; crumbling hill towns... And of course some of Europe's most beautiful countryside - from rolling, vineyard-carpeted hills to dramatic sea cliffs on the Amalfi Coast and even snow-capped mountains. What better way to get up close and really explore all this diverse country has to offer than on a walking holiday, on winding paths under the bright blue skies and sunshine that the country is famed for.
For more leisurely options, you have the opportunity to witness absolutely stunning views of Italian countryside on a relaxing stroll on Tuscan trails, the world renowned Walk of Gods or from village to village in picturesque Cinque Terre. Or challenge yourself on a mountain trek up the Apennines in Abruzzo or the Alps and Dolomites. There really is something for all levels of ability in Italy. Plus you can rest easy knowing a homely trattoria or traditional hotel is awaiting your arrival at the end of each day's walk.
