Hike the timeless trails and mountains of Italy’s Amalfi Coast - one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines where stone stairways lead to dazzling views over the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Hike the trails and scenic Path of the Gods, the most famous hike on the Amalfi Coast, taking you through citrus orchards and terraced vineyards and historic towns along the way.
