Trip Overview

Walk of the Gods, emerald coloured waters, the ruins of Pompeii. The outstanding beauty of the Amalfi coast can only be fully appreciated on foot. On this 8-day walking tour, follow ancient pathways and trails linking isolated farms, quaint villages, and exquisite churches and historic monasteries. Most of the walking route hugs the coastline with wonderful vistas from village to village.

There is plenty of free time to relax and take in the addictive Italian atmosphere and lust for life with a glass of wine. We stay at Agritururismo Saint Alfonso, formerly a 16th century monastery, where the friendly and hospitable staff is unsurpassed. The monastery is surrounded by colorful gardens, open terraces and endless staircases leading out to lemon tree groves and grape vines. Enjoy your meals in an open-air dining area that overlooks the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Savor a glass of local wine along with a lovely home cooked meal after a long day of hiking.

Days 2 to 7 - On our daily hikes we visit the musical city of Ravello, made famous by Wagner; Pompeii, where we enjoy a guided tour of the ruins; and the Grotto Di Smeraldo, where you’ll be blown away by the emerald colour of the water in this coastal cave. The highlight of the trip is a walk along an ancient path between the Amalfi villages of Positano and Praiano, called the Walk of the Gods, our most challenging and impressive walk where we will be rewarded with unsurpassed scenery.
