Itinerary

    Salerno

    The historical but new town of Roman Salernum is controlled by the Castle of Arechi and guided by a highly regarded commercial port. It is best to be an early bird and get to the city early to put so many things in order because the arrangement of your urban trekking is necessary so that you won’t miss the mesmerising scenes and places, the exercise, pleasure and fun that resides in the terraces. You can quickly get to discover beautiful places and familiarise yourself with the friendly and calm environment while trying to get to the Provincial Art Gallery and the Cathedral of Salerno. These places which make you wonder if the earth is ever going to be destroyed one day. It is noteworthy that the remains of St. Matteo are resident in the cathedral. Strolling gently along these paths expose you to the Amalfi coast and makes you revel in the blueness of its marina. If green is your thing, then you will surely enjoy the Municipal Villa, where you get to see the green lung of Salerno, or you just move further to Minerva’s garden; you will struggle to get enough of it. The history Minerva’s garden holds is something notable as it is the premier Botanical Garden of Europe where medically used plants are cultivated.

    Salerno – Vietri Sul Mare (2hrs walking: elevation up 120 down 290, about 5km)

    Have you ever seen where potteries are made? If not, never mind, as you will be privileged to see one when you embark on a short exclusive trip to Vietri Sul Mare, which is just a few kilometres east of the Amalfi Coast. You will be enthralled on your first main journey in the tour when you get to these places of immense attraction. Crossing over to the hilltop, something legendary awaits, sort of what you hear in moonlight tales and something to feed your superstitious beliefs with. On crossing the hilltop of Benincasa, shrines like wildfire are spread across the way with small width, exposing you to every folklore. The road to Dragonea is more refreshing where your lungs can have the luxury of inhaling a fresh bite of air emanating from the mounts of Lattari. The usually complicated maze-like structure in the form of labyrinths when you journey through and get to the pleasant village of Albori makes you wonder if there is still such beauty in existence but alas! You will discover there are still much more in existence when you get to the villa Guariglia and behold an old building that is abode to the museum of ceramics.

    From Minori to Amalfi via Ravello (4hrs walking: +450 -590, 10km)

    Wake up and take your meal if you would because you might need something to hold your stomach with on this tour. There is a really long staircase that leads to Ravello, a town on the coast. Today’s challenge is the long stretch of stairs. It goes to Scala, a village that is old and located on a hill. There is also a path that goes to the Valle dei Mulini reserve. This is a place where you can see lots of water and dense trees. From there, you will continue to Amalfi overnight.

    Trek from Amalfi to Agerola (4hr walking: +330 -940, 14km)

    The route connects Amalfi with Pogerola Village, which is 700 steps uphill. It also connects with the wooded part of Pogerola Village, which is known for its chestnut groves. Then, walk along a nice stretch of the high path of Valle delle Ferriere, and turn off towards Mount Murillo. The paths are mostly easy, but always proceed with great care as these are mountain paths! Finally, return by public bus and overnight in Amalfi.

    Amalfi
