Spirit of Amalfi
Spirit of Amal 8 Days
Set on the shores of the sparkling Mediterranean, the Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe
Amalfis dramatic coastline offers an extraordinary palette of colours, with azure skies, white limestone cliffs, deep blue seas, and bright citrus orchards lit by the dazzling Mediterranean sun. An intoxicating aroma of rosemary and lemon fills the air and every meal here, no matter how simple, is a feast of freshness and flavour! A web of ancient pathways winds along the cliffs, leading from charming coastal towns through rustic woodlands and up to beautiful villages perched atop craggy peaks. On this enchanting walking adventure, we venture beyond the crowds to experience the hidden treasures and authentic culture of this Italian paradise. Highlights include our hike along the stunning Sentiero degli Dei (Pathway of the Gods), the mysterious Valley of the Mills just behind Amalfi, the spectacular village of Positano, a day trip to the island of Capri and a visit to Pompeii. We are also based for four magnificent days in the village that lends its name to this glorious coast Amalfi.
