With options to hike everyday on moderate to challenging trails, this is one of our classic 8 day hiking tours.

Amalfi in Comfort – Choose this slightly shorter 6 day itinerary if you would like to hike the Amalfi Coast while staying in exquisite 4 star boutique hotels in truly stunning locations offering endless sea views. Hike the iconic “Footpath of the Gods” and the charming "Path of the Lemons", discover the charming town of Ravello and its gardens or choose to visit chic Positano, explore more of lovely Praiano or perhaps explore the Valley of Praia.

Southern Amalfi: Cilento Coast Short Break - Short on time and looking for a less busy Amalfi experience?  Head south of Amalfi to the Cilento Coast and enjoy lovely but quieter trails, impressive temples at the Roman ruins of Paestum, and authentic fishing villages nestled along sandy beaches. Add in extra days to make this a more leisurely active vacation.

Spaghetti alle Vongole – A dish that is available in nearly any coastal town! Spaghetti with freshly-caught clams which can be ordered with tomatoes or without. Best enjoyed on a panoramic terrace with a glass of local wine!

Delizia di Limone – It is said that the world’s best lemons grow in the region of the Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Sorrento. This dessert is one of the many regional specialties; a lemon-scented sponge cake covered with lemon zest and frosting.

Fiori di Latte – Cheesemongers in the tiny mountain hamlet of Agerola produce the famous Fiori di Latte cheese that you can typically find on a Neapolitan Margherita Pizza. A little drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh sea salt turn this fresh cheese into something magical.

Totani e Patate – Back in the day many small towns along the coast, such as Positano and Praiano, were rustic villages. This dish of squid and potatoes reflects on their humble fishing roots and makes for a delicious starter or main course.

Scialatielli con Gamberi e Zucchine – This is a delightful fresh pasta dish with zucchini and locally-caught fresh shrimp tossed in a rich seafood stock. It translates to ‘scialare’ which means to enjoy and ‘tiella’ which means pan, simply put; enjoyment in a pan. Many restaurants may also include mussels, prawns, or clams.

Amalfi – a small town that is easily walked from one end to the other in 20 minutes! Amalfi is steeped in history and culture, has a small beach, busy piazzas, lively seaside restaurants and has a beautiful Byzantine-influenced cathedral.

Atrani – a lesser-known village in comparison to its neighbor Amalfi but well worth a visit! Tier upon tier of multi-colored houses above a small stretch of sandy beach – arguably one of the most idyllic settings along the coast.

Ravello – in contrast to other Amalfi villages this settlement was built on a hill, rather than on the coast – like a sanctuary away from possible invaders. Ravello is chic and refined, with polished piazzas, lush villas and majestic gardens. Villa Cimbrone is a must-see!

Praiano – an ancient fishing village that got its name from the Greek word of ‘open sea’. Formerly a silk-production center this was a favorite amongst the Amalfi dukes that made it their summer residence.

Positano – the sight of Positano upon reaching it is truly breath-taking, the shimmering blue sea, the silvery beach, Santa Maria Church and the interconnected, multi-colored houses. It’s dramatic, fashionable, and very photogenic!

Minori - a smaller and very charming town on the Amalfi Coast that retains an old world feel.  The ancient Roman Villa and museum is a highlight, and you can walk from here along the Path of Lemons to Maiori.
