Amalfi Coast is an Adventure Holiday
The Amalfi Coast is beloved for an iconic, colourful coastline and ancient villages. Surrounded by lemon groves, you’ll be sure to find an activity to set your heart racing alongside natural beauty and cultural experiences.
Breathtaking Trails and Coastal Walks
If you’re an avid hiker you’ll be spoilt for choice here; from the world-famous Path of the Gods to soaking up the history of Pompeii and Vesuvius, there’s some of the most scenic walking routes in Europe to be found here. There’s a variety of walks for all abilities, and if you’re tired after all the walking you can always visit a vineyard to quench your thirst after all the activity. For travellers keen to experience these stunning trails with expert guidance, Amalfi Coast tours offer the perfect balance of adventure and local insight, ensuring you discover hidden paths and cultural gems you might otherwise miss.
Adventure Beyond the Path – Kayaking, Snorkelling & More
If you’re planning on visiting the Amalfi Coast but not venturing into the water, what are you even thinking? Crystal blue, and surrounded by great beaches, you could explore sea caves by boat, snorkel in coves, kayak…pretty much any water sport you can think of can be found here. In fact, if you go via boat, you might even be able to find a secret beach or two that’s more secluded. After all, the iconic pastel-coloured buildings look better from the sea anyway.
Food, Culture & Local Experiences Along the Way
Italy is known for food and the Amalfi Coast is no different. Citrus-infused seafood abounds, as does limoncello – and you’re going to want to try the infamous lemons on their own as there is nothing quite like it. You’ll also want to try the local cheeses and milk; the local goat’s milk from Scala and Tramonti is made fragrant with the herbs of the Lattari Mountains. We probably didn’t have to remind you but make sure to also try the pasta of course – dishes like Ndunderi (a ricotta cheese gnocchi) will have you coming back for seconds. On the Amalfi Coast you’ll find many of the foods one must try in Italy.
Sustainable and Slow Travel – The Appeal of Exploring on Foot
If part of the reason you’re wanting to travel in the region is because of their love for exercise, you’ll be happy to know that travelling by foot is often the best way to see all the sights. Besides the fact that Amalfi’s roads get seriously busy in summer, travelling by foot and bike is commonplace, so it may actually be easier to grab a walking tour than it is to hire a car. The train can also be a great potential option to reduce your carbon footprint and travel the region at a more meaningful, eco-friendly pace.
