Self-guided walking holidays, tours and vacations on the Amalfi Coast, Italy, Sorrento

ALONG THE SIREN COAST  - Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento

The Amalfi Coast. Wild mountains rising sheer from the Mediterranean sea. Old fishing towns clinging to the rocks, tumbling down to the water’s edge. Spectacular paths high on the mountainside that link otherwise inaccessible vineyards, with views for miles. Bathing in little coves away from the crowds.  Making such a cornucopia of bounty into a walk for most abilities is difficult, but we feel we have achieved it. This is a truly multigraded walk for the hardy strider and, courtesy of the peninsula bus-system, the recreational walker too. The route shows both faces of the peninsula – the craggy scenery of the eastern (Amalfi) end and the more accessible charms of the western tip. The 7-night (medium) version starts with 3 nights in Amalfi (including Ravello), then works its way along the coast via Positano and the western promontories (with a night in a stylish organic agriturismo) before arriving in bustling Sorrento, overlooking the bay of Naples and Vesuvius. Stay extra nights in any of our hotels, and perhaps extend your stay with visits to Capri, Pompei and Naples itself.
