If you are fit enough you really should do this walk. It wasnt easy in the baking August sun even setting off from Maiori but once up the main steps it gets easier and the views are stunning. Great way to vist Minori and sample Limoncello in the factorys as you get in to the town.
One tip though is put as much anti mosquito stuff on you. I put a bit on but forgot this is like a forest type walk and I was ultimately quite badly bitten. My onw fault so just be aware.

Delighted with our purchase of plates from Ceramiche d'Arte Carmela during a trip to Ravello last month. Their range is fantastic and was the best that we saw during our time staying on the Amalfi Coast. Customer service was very helpful , including an email advising when our purchase had been shipped and when to expect Delivery. Couldn't believe they arrived 2 days later in Melbourne, Australia . Arrived in perfect condition, very well packed with lots of polystyrene.

This locale, if you could call it that, doesn't even cover one square kilometre. The first time you arrive in this tiny little paradise of whitewashed houses, you'll feel like you've walked onto a Positano, of course.
In high summer, when the car park on the beach is full and the road in town is closed to traffic, the best way to get to Atrani is by walking along the gentle pathway that connects the town to Amalfi . The path hugs the hillside, providing beautiful views of the sea as it weaves through Atrani's whitewashed houses. The walk takes 20- 30 minutes
The first time i visited Atrani it was a warm summer's night, lit only by the full moon which illuminated the white houses, arches and balconies of this coastal nest.
5. Badia della Santissima Trinita'

Reviewed By GabyDublin - Dublin
This is a most beautiful mediaeval monastery which still houses about ten working monks. The architecture of the building is astounding - it is actually built into cliff and incorporates the cliff face. The guided tour is worth taking, showing the beautiful library and the vaults and giving a lot of background information. It has to be said that it is considerably off the beaten track and takes a little finding in the little hamlet of Corpo di Cavo - so if you are moving along the Amalfi coastline fairly fast, it is worth taking this into consideration.
6. Le Vigne di Raito

Treat yourself to a special day or evening inside a boutique organic vineyard along the spectacular Amalfi Coast. Tour the vineyards with the sommelier, wine taste with the winemaker, and feast on a seasonal meal made from fresh local ingredients all while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy a truly unique Italian experience.

Le Vigne di Raito is amazing! The three of us agree that this was the best experience of our trip. Our guide Alfonso was so charming and incredibly knowledgeable about wine and about the history of the winery and the area in general. Patrizia is simply beautiful inside and out. Her food is to die for! We highly recommend a trip to this winery for anyone visiting the Amalfi coast. It's a must see (and eat and drink) experience!
7. Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano

Reviewed By Samuel K
We weren't sure whether this would be worth the climb, It was. Amazing tour by a lovely old Italian man. He didn't speak much English but we were able to communicate with gestures surprisingly well. I learnt a lot and there are some really fantastic archaeological finds such as Roman pottery, weapons and coins that you can touch and see close up. Forget museums, this is an amazing authentic experience and very historically and culturally rich. The castle was built around 800AD and the views are spectacular.
This is definitely worth the effort of climbing a few stairs. Bring some water though!
We then walked over to minori via the path of lemons, another must-do!

9. Piazzetta Umberto I

Reviewed By Chris I - Glasgow, United Kingdom
Piazzetta Umberto is the beating heart of Atrani, a gorgeous square from which to watch the world go by. There are several cafe restaurants and a very good ice cream shop, Gelataria Artigianale Marco, in the passageway between the square and the beach. We had an ok coffee (not as good as Andrea Pansa in Amalfi) at Caffe Vittoria and came back in the evening for a delicious meal at Ristorante Savo. The church of S Maria Maddelena in Atrani is also worth a visit if only for the photo opportunity provided by the infinity view of the sea from the top of the steps!
10. Villa Cimbrone Gardens

Reviewed By Tim C - Bellevue, Washington
We spent a lot of time searching for this villa after having visited Villa Rufolo. Google Maps and Trip advisor directions took us on a wild goose chase and we actually started going out of Ravello and towards Amalfi. We asked for directions and we were told to head back to Ravello. As it turned out, the villa is quite hidden inside Ravello. One must take a left after passing Villa Rufolo and then a right and continue on for about 15 minutes to reach this villa.
Upon seeing what this place has to offer, it made all of our trouble worth it. In my opinion, this is the better of the two Roman villas in Ravello that offer incredible sights and a very large garden with many points of interest to explore. Not to be missed!
