Walking along Amalfi Coast & Capri

During the course of the day arrive to Sorrento. From Naples airport you can take a bus or private transfer or from central Naples the train. As soon as you get settled in your accommodation, step outside and breathe in the incredibly fresh, crisp air of the Mediterranean Sea. Why not visit the historic centre, and in the evening, immerse yourself in the atmosphere as you have your first Italian dinner.

This morning you take the ferry from the port of Sorrento to Capri Island, the pearl of the Bay of Naples. Once you arrive you have a choice of two walks, a short easy walk to visit Emperor Tiber’s villa or a longer coastal walk from the hill town of Anacapri down to the west coast, with the option of an additional easy panoramic coastal walk to the Blue Grotto. On the island you can use the public bus or cable car to travel around. In the late afternoon return to Sorrento by ferry.

Roman Villa Jovis (Tiberio) walk A:

This is an easy walk that goes from the town of Capri to the Roman Villa Jovis from where Emperor Tiberio is said to have thrown his rivals and unwanted guests off the cliff. Walk along paved and cobbled lanes lined with luxurious gardens, take in great views of the western side of the island and the Gulf of Naples.

From Anacapri to Punta Carena and extension to Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) Walk B:

This is a really spectacular walk with wonderful views of the Faraglioni, Capri, the Gulf of Naples as well as the imposing cliffs between Monte Solaro and Punta Carena.

Once in Punta Carena you can return by bus to Anacapri where you change bus to reach Capri or Marina Grande. You can continue walking to the Blue Grotto.

Extension to Blue Grotto from Punta Carena Walk C:

This is one of the most picturesque trails on the island. The path gently contours the coast offering spectacular sea views from the cliffs and 19th century military forts. From the end of the walk take the local bus to Piazza della Pace, Anacapri.

After breakfast, a private transfer will take you from Sorrento to Sant’Agata, from where you can walk to the wonderful beach at Marina del Cantone via Punta Campanelle. The day’s itinerary offers to offer spectacular views on the Capri Island, the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Naples and the Vesuvius. There are 3 optional walks today to choose from.

The day’s walk takes you to the lovely Bay of Jeranto offering great views on the Island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast and ample time to go for a dip in the Mediterranean blue sea if you should, wish too.

After breakfast, a private transfer will lead you to Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi from where you walk to Colli San Pietro, located slightly inland and high above the coastline. Today’s picturesque walk is along old country lanes and footpaths through terraced fields, olive and lemon groves that open out onto the Mediterranean. Here you can clearly smell the many wildflowers and Mediterranean scrub.

In the afternoon take a local bus to Amalfi where you will be staying for 3 nights.

This is the most famous of all the walks on the Amalfi coast along the Sentiero degli Dei, known as the Path of the Gods. You shall see immense coastal panoramas and a high cliff coastline will accompany you from Bomerano, (that you reach with the local bus from Amalfi). Here you see all of the colourful villages of Positano perched on the side of the mountain. From Positano take a local bus back to Amalfi.

WALK A: The more demanding walk of the two options take you via Pontone to Pogerola and back to Amalfi. You will come across the Sanctuary of Madonna  dei Fuondi passing lovely ancient traditional villages and stunning landscapes.

WALK B: Pontone-Pogerola-Amalfi above the Valle delle Ferriere. The longer loop will satisfy the demanding walker with its spectacular views of the bay of Salerno and the high cliffs of the Amalfi coast

Depart after breakfast.
