Highlights of Our Amalfi Coast Holidays

Hike the Path of the Gods

Of all the scenic walking trails in this part of Italy, one stands above the rest: the Path of the Gods. Considered among the world’s finest coastal walks, the full route is around 4mi (7km), tracking the coastline and passing shepherd huts and ancient stone houses carved into the limestone. We finish in the cliffside town of Positano, where you can explore wisteria-lined alleys or refresh with a cooling swim in the sea.

Explore Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius

A relatively short drive from the Amalfi Coast, the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum display perfectly preserved ruins that have survived for millennia. Visit to see the Roman world in full, from temples and theatres to modest dwellings and bakeries. The downfall of the two towns was caused by the catastrophic 79 CE eruption of nearby Vesuvius. Explore the active volcano for yourself on a walk up the slopes and around the crater rim.

Visit the chic island of Capri

Rising from the Bay of Naples, Capri is famous for its natural beauty, high-end boutiques and grand villas. Take a boat to the island and enjoy a glamour-filled afternoon, in which you can dip into the designer stores of Via Camerelle in Capri town, visit the now-ruined villa of fearsome Roman emperor Tiberius, or hike along the coast to see the Faraglioni rock stacks rising from the sea waters.

Discover colourful fishing villages

Along the Amalfi Coast, colourful fishing villages cling to the seemingly vertical slopes that lead to the shoreline. Though they’re beautiful from afar, there’s plenty to discover within. Relax in the sun-filled piazzas of Amalfi, visit the medieval Villa Cimbrone in hilltop Ravello, and walk the narrow alleys of Positano. The Amalfi Coast is at its most vibrant in these beautiful villages, while the views over the Tyrrhenian Sea aren’t bad either.

Stay at Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano

Practically a second home for us, Hotel Due Torri has welcomed countless numbers of our groups over the years. It’s run by the friendly Acampora family, who cook authentic local dishes in the restaurant and put on a show with their fun pizza-making demonstrations. Better yet, it sits in the village of Bomerano, away from the bustle of Amalfi, but still within striking distance of the fabulous coastline.

Our Amalfi Coast Holidays

The Amalfi Coast is a spectacular region in Italy. It’s famous for lemon trees, olive groves, and tiny villages all clinging to dramatic cliffs that tower above the sea. This beautiful destination is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site – and that’s with good reason. The towns and villages of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello are linked by clifftop passes and old donkey trails, with each craggy corner unfolding more of this panoramic coastline.

The ‘Walk of the Gods’ descending into Positano is one of the most popular walks on our Amalfi Coast walking holidays, on which the cliffside routes will take your breath away. Head inland and you find vineyards and deep gorges, or follow mule tracks and old trails to picturesque hillside villages.

On your Amalfi Coast holiday, why not unwind in the evenings when you take a seat on a balmy terrace? Tuck into superb Italian cuisine, enjoy a cool drink and relax as you watch the boats in the harbour below.

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.

Ruth Clarke Walking the Amalfi Coast

Beautiful scenic walks with rewarding views. Despite some challenging steps, it was way worth it to soak in the surroundings of the coastline.
Along with great food and great company, couldn’t ask for more!

There are several ways to get around this gorgeous region of southern Italy. You can get ferries from port to port during the summer months and enjoy stunning views while avoiding any traffic during peak travel times. Alternatively, you can get buses around the Amalfi Coast, which are one of the more cost-effective ways to travel to all of the popular tourist spots here.

What is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast?

The two best times to visit the Amalfi Coast are between September and October or April and May. This is because the weather is great but not too hot, so you can explore without needing frequent breaks in air-conditioned cafés. What’s more, these times are outside of peak season, so you’ll be able to enjoy smaller queues for all of the attractions.

How long is the Amalfi Coast?

The Amalfi Coast is 50km long and sits on the southern coast of Italy.

What airport is close to Amalfi Coast?

Naples is the nearest airport to the Amalfi Coast, and you can fly direct from many airports around the UK. From there, you can get a train, taxi, bus, or ferry to your accommodation.

What to wear in Amalfi Coast?

It can be very hot on the Amalfi Coast and UV rays can be high, which means lightweight clothing that covers your skin should be worn when you visit. Be sure to pack a hat and sunglasses to protect your head when exploring throughout the day and then pack your most stylish outfits for the evening time. The Amalfi Coast is known for being a sophisticated destination, so you’ll want to fit in when you visit restaurants and bars along the coast.

Edinburgh to Naples: 3 hours 10 minutes

What's the weather in Amalfi Coast?

It’s sunny weather for most of the year in this part of Italy. Summer months like July average highs of 29°C and lows of 22°C, which makes it a great time for lying on the beach and exploring the beautiful islands just off the coast.

However, during the cooler months like January, you can expect highs of 12°C and lows of 8°C, which is a mild temperature for taking in all of the cultural sights. There’s a lot of walking required during an Amalfi Coast tour, so some prefer to visit when the temperatures are lower.
