WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
The adventure begins! If you’d like a comfortable ride, you can book a private transfer from Naples with a single departure around 5:00 PM. Once you arrive in Minori, a small village along the Amalfi Coast, you’ll meet your expert guide for an overview of the itinerary. This will be the perfect time to get into the spirit of the trip, learn the details of the hike, and get to know your fellow adventurers. The evening continues with a traditional Amalfi-style dinner. All of this takes place against a spectacular backdrop that hints at the wonders awaiting you in the coming days!
Second day
Hiking in the Valle delle Ferriere and Amalfi
We’ll take a bus to the village of Pontone, a little gem nestled among the mountains of the Amalfi Coast. From here, we’ll begin our hike toward Amalfi along an ancient path, surrounded by terraced lemon groves, with views of Amalfi and the sea. We’ll continue witha hike through the Valle delle Ferriere and follow the course of the Canneto River, passing through a landscape of waterfalls and old paper mills, once the beating heart of paper production. Once in Amalfi, we’ll visit its main square, the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, and the narrow streets lined with artisan shops. We’ll return to the hotel by private transfer for dinner.
Third day
Ravello, Minori, and Amalfi
Today we’ll take a walk through history, retracing the ancient paths that once connected the villages of the Amalfi Coast. Our transfer will take us to Ravello, an elegant village beloved by artists and writers, which will welcome us with its historic villas and gardens. In the afternoon, we’ll take an ancient path to walk directly down to “our” Minori. This seaside town is famous for its pastry shops and artisanal liqueur distilleries, perfect for sampling homemade desserts and limoncello.
For New Year’s Eve: We’ll relax in our room and get ready to head out for our New Year’s Eve in Amalfi: after enjoying a pizza or a nice “cuopp” of mixed fried seafood, we’ll experience an alternative New Year’s Eve outdoors in the heart of the beautiful, festive square, with fireworks by the sea!
Let’s not stay out too late because the first hike of the year awaits us the next day!
Fourth day
The Path of the Gods and Positano
Today is the day for one of the most spectacular hikes in the world, the perfect way to end the year on a high note: the Path of the Gods! We’ll take public transportation to Bomerano, the starting point. The trail winds along the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, offering views of the sea that alternate with stretches of wild nature, holm oak forests, and Mediterranean scrub. The scent of thyme and rosemary will accompany us along the way, and the scenery will become increasingly spectacular. Once we arrive in Positano, we’ll immerse ourselves in its glamorous yet authentic atmosphere.
Fifth day
After days of hiking along Campania’s scenic trails, through charming villages, and savoring authentic flavors, we wake up with the scent of lemons still in our hair and images of the Amalfi Coast etched in our minds—a memory that will stay with us forever. After breakfast, it’s time to get ready for the return trip, but with the knowledge that we’ve had a unique experience surrounded by nature, history, and local traditions. For those who have booked a private transfer, departure from Minori to Naples is scheduled for around 10:00 a.m. One last look at the sea and the Lattari Mountains…and goodbye, Amalfi Coast—see you on the next adventure!
