lewis Salt Walking the Amalfi Coast

This holiday definitely maybe the perfect mix. There was challenging walking on the Path of the Gods along the beautiful Amalfi coast. Next we were off exploring the impressive historic remains of Pompeii and Herculaneum and daring the crater edge at Vesuvius. Happily immersing ourselves in the food and culture of the region, we were treated to artisan cheese making, cookery demonstrations and participation, limoncello tasting with the expert, and time to enjoy a gelato or three in the sunshine under the bluest November skies. It was even warm enough for a refreshing swim in the sea after conquering all the steps down to Amalfi and again at pretty Positano. The boat ride from Positano was a brilliant way to see all the villages from the sea. Add in glorious Ravello, its wonderful gardens and the breathtaking views from the path down to lovely Atrani, with a little Escher art tour as an added bonus to complete the picture. With our superb, expert guide Veriano and the warmest hotel staff you could wish for, our group of strangers quickly became a team of friends, laughing and singing our way through an extremely enjoyable excursion in Italy.

From the enchanting Amalfi Coast to the timeless beauty of Tuscany, the historic wonders of Sicily, the stunning Dolomites, and the picturesque Puglia, each region has its unique charm. If it’s your first visit, narrow down the choices by considering what you are looking to experience on this trip. Are you seeking out the Italian fantasy of a relaxing visit to a vineyard villa?
