After meeting at the train station in Sorrento, we transfer to our centrally located hotel, which allows for easy access to wonderful coastal walks as well as easy access to a charming and lively medieval town. The quiet landscape of open coastal pathways, tufa crags & cliffs, terraced vineyards, citrus orchards and olive groves are enjoyed on our first walk to the nearby fishing villages and the sight of an impressive ancient coastal Roman villa.
Enjoy this very easy walk that follows paved, cobblestone and earthen pathways along farm tracks of olive trees and vineyards. Splendid views of the Isle of Capri along this coastal headland are featured as we return with plenty of time to enjoy the active picturesque port town of Sorrento--a mixture of lush gardens and Moorish architecture within the medieval town center offers us the ideal setting from which to explore before enjoying an aperitif and a wonderful welcome dinner.

The Isle of Capri, once named the "City of Sweet Idleness" by the Emperor Augustus, is a "must see" for anyone visiting the Bay of Naples. Enjoy a bellavista during our walks, which embrace the many colors of the flower gardens, sea grottoes and vegetation of this wondrous island.
We arrive early enough to beat the crowds, so you may want to visit the islands main tourist town where many quaint shops line the colorful streets to the impressive Roman ruins of the Villa Jovis. After lunch walk along the coastal pine forested path that takes in an idyllic view of the entire peninsula. A large sea cave & the often-photographed "Arco Naturale" highlight our walk along the clear blue green waters crashing into the white cliffs. We walk past the magnificent villas along a coastal path in the southwest and quieter part of the island. This leads to a spectacular viewpoint looking past the towering cliffs of the Faraglione Islands. Then we complete our loop back into Capri.  Time permiting we  visit the Augustus Gardens and/or the 16th century abbey La Certosa di San Giacomo.

Sorrento sits 230' above the sea on a broad shelf then rises quickly to an elevation of 1300' at the village of Sant'Agata which will be our day's destination. We begin our walk from the far end of this peninsula and follow an obscure trail that passes through several tiny hamlets that trace the rugged coast while continually taking in the splendid isolated views. Several new angles of Mt Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri soon lead us to the ancient convent "Il Deserto" just in time for lunch. This walk follows a path along terraced gardens, woods and a coastal route that skirts the tiny fishing villages featuring stilted houses and remote 16th century towers built as defense against the Ottoman Empire. This entire part of the peninsula remains today much as it has throughout time.

The "Walk of the Gods" has to be one of the finest walks in the world. Starting from a lofty town high above Amalfi we soon realize no other name for this walk would suffice. We traverse along a truly spectacular wild mountainside that encounters a stunning array of wildflowers, Italian cypress groves and continual open vast views of the coastline.
After a picnic lunch high above the sea our trail continues to enjoy the solitude and scenic beauty that you're sure to talk about long after the trip ends. We begin our descent into Positano from a natural gateway where an enormous hole pierces through large crag and gradually descends back to our hotel. The walk is mostly flat, always earthen and most definitely lives up to all the hype its name demands. Before our return you'll have plenty of time to explore the town's cultural offerings or simply find a nice beachside cafe for a glass of wine before meeting later for dinner.

The previous day's walk is a tough act to follow, but the "Valley of the Mills" lives up to the task. Our day starts from the renowned town of Ravello where we take time to visit the Villa Cimbrone and its immense gardens whose balconies offer incomparable coastal views.  Enjoy an easy gradual descent along the earthen path of a declared nature reserve. The trail leads far back into a wooded valley filled with wild flowers, waterfalls and streams that are vital to Amalfi even today. That serves as our trailhead into the secluded "Valley of the Mills".

Amalfi's paper making industry was as renowned as its maritime past. It had for centuries relied on torrential rains that ran down the mountainside and into the valley behind it in order to supply the power and water for fourteen lucrative paper mills. Today only two mills still operate. We pass several of these abandoned mills during our walk and then visit the paper museum for a very informative tour.
Upon completion of our walk and guided tour we'll have ample time to shop, visit the spectacular Duomo, and stroll the incomparable town of Amalfi. We then return for one last evening and grand farewell dinner.
