One of the world's most celebrated coastlines, the Amalfi Coast is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site where dramatic limestone cliffs plunge to
turquoise water, ancient villages cling to terraced hillsides, and a
network of centuries-old mule tracks and pilgrim paths weave between
lemon groves and hidden coves. Walking here is an experience unlike
anywhere else in Italy. Criss-crossing this extraordinary landscape,
this comprehensive guidebook by Gillian Price covers 32 walks from 3
to 11km (2 to 7 miles), taking between 1 and 5 hours and suited to
family strollers and experienced trekkers alike. Walks are graded 1 to
3, can be combined to create longer days out and are easily accessible
from Naples, Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, with detailed public
transport, accommodation and refreshment information throughout. 32
graded walks across five areas, covering Ischia, Capri, Sorrento,
Positano and Amalfi, with routes along ancient mule tracks, pilgrim
paths, coastal cliff trails and mountain ridges above the Gulf of
Naples The Sentiero degli Dei, the Path of the Gods above Positano, is
described in full — one of the most celebrated and photographed
walks in Italy, with views across the Amalfi Coast that few other
trails in Europe can match The islands of Capri and Ischia each have
dedicated sections, with walks including Monte Solaro on Capri, the
Sentiero dei Fortini coastal path and multiple routes across Ischia's
volcanic interior Sketch maps for every walk are provided alongside
detailed route descriptions, with walks designed to be linked together
to create longer itineraries and plenty of shorter options for
first-time visitors Practical information on public transport,
accommodation and local food and drink throughout, including ferry
connections between the coast and the islands, making this the ideal
planning companion for any Amalfi Coast visit Few places in the world
combine natural beauty, cultural heritage and walking opportunities as
effortlessly as the Amalfi Coast. Gillian Price, Cicerone's foremost
Italy author, has captured every step of it in this guidebook.
