Being just three hours south of Rome and within an hour’s journey of Naples and Pompeii, the Amalfi coast has been drawing visitors to its seaside charms and idyllic beauty for hundreds of years.  Located in the Campania region of Italy, on the southern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula, the 31mile Amalfi coast sits between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. The backdrop of the Lattari Mountains and its steep cliffs draped in lush greenery provide spellbinding views over the deep blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and glimpses of the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Amalfi is made up of 13 historic and colorful towns and villages and over 100 natural and serviced beaches connected by an abundance of trails and the scenic highway. Its two most famous trails, the Valle delle Ferriere and the Path of the Gods wind through shady forests, clifftops, terraced vineyards and romantic fishing villages. Local ferries and tours by boat provide the opportunity to experience Amalfi from the sea, and to explore its nearby islands.  Amalfi is also famous for its local cuisine featuring fresh seafood like pasta with lemon and clams, traditional pastry desserts like sfogliatella, and its own specialty spritz made from limoncello and prosecco. Our self-guided hiking tours range from challenging classics, to a more relaxed Slower Adventure and a somewhat upscale In Comfort experience, and with no group or guide, you're free to explore this Italian gem at your pace and on your terms.
