Top Things to do in Amalfi Coast
The 10 Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Amalfi Coast, Campania
Stretching along the southern side of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast dazzles with its mysterious grottos, craggy cliffs and shimmering bays. Grab a seat on the sea side of a regional bus to soak up views on the fabled route from artsy Positano to Amalfi. Ravello offers some respite from the crowds, plus the stunning Villa Cimbrone, which overlooks the Bay of Salerno. The historic section of Sorrento has winding streets filled with craftspeople. Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.

I've wanted to do this walk for years ,and finally I got the chance. I was not disappointed. We were blessed with beautiful sunny February weather. It takes a fair bit of travelling from Sorrento, but the walk was actually easier and quicker than I'd thought. We walked the route from Nocelle back towards Positano. We used the sunflower guide which I highly recommend. We took the higher route - where the path goes off to the right by a house with a cross in the garden - the signage takes you to the lower route at this point, but apparently the higher route is more spectacular which makes sense, and it was certainly very lovely! The cafe at the end of the route is basic but has a beautiful view too so a good place to stop off before doing the steps down to the road, which was definitely the more tiring bit of the walk. We caught the bus back to Sorrento from a stop at the bottom of the steps rather than in Positano.

We stayed at Tramonto D’Oro in Praiano for 5 nights (best place to stay, however can be isolating if you don’t have your own transport) . I had emailed requesting the scooter before I left Australia. ML Porter dropped off the 125cc Vespa at our arrival to the hotel and picked it up at our departure. It took five minutes to sign the paperwork with the staff member and then we were off. The price was reasonable around 70 euro a day. There is no better way than getting around the coast than via Vespa as the buses are full and look hot (we took one trip via bus just for the experience) and the taxis are a minimum of 30 euro each direction. We were able to visit all the towns and small restaurants at any time and would not hesitate in renting from ML Porter next time we return to the Amalfi Coast.

10. Valle delle Ferriere

Forget about the crowded and overpriced beaches, leave the droves of tourists behind and take the time to hike up the Valle delle Ferriere. Especially in the summer it is also a very nice way to escape the heat, since most of the hike is under the trees. However getting to the later shady part ist quite difficult in the afternoon cause the beginning of the path is many many steps under the sun. Overall 45 to 60 min one way it is an easy hike / walk for some others, we met old ladies in flip flops who took a shower under the waterfalls but I recommend closed shoes and also long trousers cause the path is overgrown in some places. Starting from Amalfi and after you walk up the main road to the museum of the papermills follow the signs to the right, climb up many steps and after you pass in front of a tavern you start to get into the forest and follow the stream upstream. There are many small waterfalls formed and one or two big ones, you can find one or two small lagoons to bathe, if you can handle the icy water. The best thing in my opinion was the many ruined buildings on the way there, old paper and iron mills that used to be the backbone of the local industry. Poor donkeys that had to carry stuff up this path! The ruins are almost surreal, huge empty skeletons of stone buildings, some staircases and arches still standing, also ovens and other industrial components. Very eery in some places. I loved it, wouldn't like to be there alone in the evening though... From the far end you can climb higher and meet the main path that used to be the main connection to the other villages, still walkable. We didn't go so far as to reach the enclosed section that you have to pay to get access, there is the longest waterfall I presume from what was described to me, I think it is closer when coming down from Pontone. I recommend taking this hike and escaping the saturated coast for a couple of hours.
