Walking on the Amalfi Coast describes 32 day-walks, ranging from 3km to 11km in length. The walks explore the Sorrento Peninsula, Amalfi Coast and Monti Lattari, as well as the islands of Capri and Ischia in the Gulf of Naples. The whole area is crisscrossed by ancient mule tracks, pilgrim routes and goat tracks, offering a variety of walking from family strolls to strenuous treks across terrain from paved paths to verdant hillside paths and rough volcanic scree. Split into the five sections of Ischia, Capri, Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, each walk is accompanied by relevant public transport information as well as a sketch map. The book also provides local and practical information, accommodation options and an Italian–English glossary. The steep southern edge of the Sorrento peninsula, famous for its medieval villages perched atop plunging cliffs, with their near-vertical vineyards and lemon orchards, is recognised as a World Heritage Site. This coastline, the rugged landscape behind, crowned by the Monti Lattari, and the idyllic islands of Capri and Ischia together make a perfect holiday destination for walkers.

A guidebook to 32 day walks on Italy’s Amalfi coast. Exploring the dramatic scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage site, the walks are suitable for beginner and experienced walkers alike and cover the Amalfi coast as well as the Islands of Ischia and Capri. 

Walks range from 3 to 11km (2–7 miles) in length and can be enjoyed in 1–5 hours. The walks have been designed to allow you to combine routes to create longer days out and are easily accessible from Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi.  

  • Local points of interest are featured including the Gulf of Naples 
  • Sketch maps included for each walk 
  • Detailed information on accommodation, facilities and public transport
