Many would say the Amalfi coastline, extending south of Naples, is the most beautiful region in the Mediterranean and it would be hard to disagree. Our hike takes us to the picturesque villages of Positano, Ravello and Amalfi. We discover the dreamy island of Capri with its twelve Roman villas and extraordinary rock formations rising up from the sea. Our walks take us through vineyards and gardens, fragrant lemon and olive groves, from village to village linked by a network of walking trails. Our paths are well constructed steps or mule paths and were once the only route of communication between villages. Our walks take us off the beaten track to discover the hidden side of the Amalfi coast.
