Spirit Of Amalfi

8 days - from $2050

Set on the shores of the sparkling Mediterranean, the Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe

Set on the shores of the sparkling Mediterranean the Amalfi is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe, offering wonderful views every step of the way. The smell of rosemary and citrus trees fills the air, steep terraces are lined with vines and centuries-old chestnut trees and shepherds still tend their herds. The Amalfi also offers an extraordinary palette of colours with azure skies, white limestone cliffs, deep blue seas and bright citrus orchards, all lit by the dazzling Mediterranean sun. A web of ancient pathways winds along shoreline cliffs, leading from charming coastal towns through rustic woodlands and up to beautiful villages perched on craggy peaks. On this enchanting walking adventure, we go beyond the crowds to experience the hidden treasures and authentic culture of this Italian paradise. Highlights include a hike along the stunning Sentiero degli Dei (Footpath of the Gods), the mysterious Valley of the Mills, the spectacular village of Positano, a day trip to the Isle of Capri and an included visit to Pompeii. We are also based for four magnificent days in the village that lends its name to this glorious coast – Amalfi. This region of Italy is also renowned for its food, which has a strong Neapolitan influence. Seafood is a speciality and the humble but delicious pizza, which originated from Naples, can also be found everywhere in a multitude of tempting flavours.
