The Amalfi Coast is renowned as one of the most beautiful places in Italy. It is a popular tourist destination both with the Neapolitans and the rest of the world. But while the hordes stream onto the beaches along the coast in summer, few - if any - are to be found in the Lattari mountains above the coast. This walking trip travels into the heart of these mountains, into the Valle delle Ferriere, where the paths are usually only used by one or two locals with their donkeys. There is still a chance to get a taste of life along the Costiera though, by descending each afternoon to spend the night in a popular seaside resort.

Description
Day 1
Ravello
Overlooking the Gulf of Salerno, Ravello has sweeping views down the coast. It is also home to manicured gardens and a beautiful baroque Duomo, which you can explore before the journey begins. This afternoon, trek to the Valle delle Ferriere, where waterfalls and lush flora and fauna abound. Steep steps descend to the historic city of Amalfi, where it is claimed the best ice-cream in the world can be found. Be sure to buy a cone and decide for yourself!
Day 2
Amalfi to Conca dei Marini
Walk a 1000 year old footpath, the Maestro dei Villaggi, which winds through ancient villages and on to the Conca dei Marini, a small town high on a ridge above the sea. Stay here tonight, in a hotel with wonderful sea views.
Day 3
Conca dei Marini to Vettica Maggiore
Follow a scenic stepped path overlooking the Fjord of Furore, into the verdant Praia Valley. The peaceful fishing village of Vettica Maggiore is our stop tonight, and it is visible along the rocky slopes of Mont Sant'Angelo from several miles away. Our family-run hotel here is friendly and if it's warm enough this evening, you can take a refreshing dip in the pool
Days 4
Vettica Maggiore to Positano
Follow the footpath of the gods, and soak up the spectacular views. A trail through thick olive groves takes you to colourful Positano, filled with charming shops and restaurants. Relax in one of these establishments or visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta which houses a Byzantine Madonna.
