Let’s go hiking for eight days on Italy’s most dramatic coastline, with the logistics handled and the legends built in! This Amalfi Coast walking holiday blends clifftop trails, island escapes, and ancient history into one seamless loop through Campania. Hike the Path of the Gods to Positano, circle the crater of Mount Vesuvius, and explore Pompeii and Herculaneum with expert guides. Ferry to Capri and Ischia for panoramic walks and thermal springs, then settle into handpicked hotels in Naples and Agerola. Farm lunches, Neapolitan pizza nights, local wine tastings, and luggage transfers included.
Upon arrival at Naples airport, take the public transport or a taxi to our hotel in the heart of the city. In the afternoon, we will all meet and head out for a walk through Naples’ vibrant streets before sitting down to a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. This is our first taste of Campania—bold, layered, and unapologetically alive.
