Description
The landscape and the journey
Old mule tracks, steps and mountain paths reveal the Amalfi Coast beyond its busiest streets. Gillian Price follows routes between lemon groves, coastal towns and steep hillsides, bringing sea views and quieter places into an Italian coastal holiday.
Routes and itinerary options
The 32 routes cover 3–11 kilometres and approximately one to five hours across Ischia, Capri, Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. Sentiero degli Dei—the Path of the Gods—features alongside Capri walks and Ischia’s volcanic landscapes. Several routes combine into longer days.
Maps and practical planning
Sketch maps and detailed directions accompany public transport, ferries, accommodation and food information, helping organise the return to your base. Landscape, plants, history and local background add interest. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Grades 1–3 include demanding ridge walks. Short distances can conceal many steps and major ascent. April–May and September–October are favoured; midsummer can be hot and busy. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
