Amalfi Coast Walking Tour
Amalfi Coast, Italy
Why Walk Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is walking at its most dramatic. Villages like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello cling to vertiginous cliffs above turquoise water, connected by ancient mule paths and staircases carved into the rock. The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) is a high-altitude trail between Agerola and Positano with views that justify its name. Positano cascades down its cliff in layers of pastel buildings, while Amalfi town centers on its Arab-Norman cathedral. Ravello, perched 350 meters above the sea, offers world-class concerts in clifftop gardens at Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. The lesser-known towns of Atrani (the smallest municipality in southern Italy) and Minori (the pastry capital) reward walkers who venture beyond the main stops. Lemon groves, ceramic workshops, and family-run restaurants serving fresh seafood line every path.
