Often the idea of a perfect holiday features a beautiful sunny beach with a cocktail in hand, but for many people a break from work and the daily routine means having time to follow their favorite activities, which are often overlooked during the daily life; if this sounds like you then you should not miss the dynamic holidays on the Amalfi Coast.

Ravello Walk, Atrani, Amalfi
The walk Ravello-Atrani-Amalfi is a trek of about 3.4 km that allows you to walk to Amalfi in about 2 hours. The path is almost totally downhill and passes along an ancient stone staircase, with short stretches of dirt road. Therefore comfortable walking shoes and a good fitness level are necessary.
The appointment is at 16:00 in Piazza Vescovado, Ravello, at the foot of the Cathedral’s steps. The walk goes through the localities of Torello and Atrani, passing through the panoramic lemon terraces of the Amalfi Coast.
Reservations must be communicated before 14:00 on the same day.
TUESDAY AND FRIDAY
9:15 am
Trek along the Path of the Gods
The Path of the Gods is a trek of medium difficulty, 8.6 km long, which allows you to walk to Positano starting from Bomerano di Agerola in about 5h.
Along the first 5.2 km (from Bomerano to Nocelle) the trek is along a dirt mule track, with continuous ups and downs on stone and rock steps in some very exposed and challenging sections. The difference in level downhill is 793 metres, the uphill one 184 metres.
This is therefore a trek that requires an very high level of fitness and is suitable only for people accustomed to walking in the mountains, equipped with trekking shoes and suitable clothing. Also you need a hat and at least a litre of water each as the path is completely in the sun and there is no shade.
The appointment is at 9:15 am in Bomerano di Agerola, in Piazza Paolo Capasso, near the public fountain.
During the walk there will be a short break to allow you to have a packed breakfast, which can be purchased in Piazza Capasso where there are various delicatessens selling local products.
From Nocelle the tired ones can reach the centre of Positano by bus, thus reducing the trek by 3.1 km and thus avoiding the steep steps with 437 metres of difference in level that from Montepertuso reaches Positano.
Reservations must be communicated by 22:00 on the previous day.
