Amalfi Coast Hiking & Trekking
Printable maps of the Amalfi Coast trails
In the old days the inhabitants of the Amalfi Coast used to go from one town to another only on foot, or riding horses or donkeys. To do this they used the paths and trails that go through the mountains from town to town. These trails are still there of course and still offer a great way to experience the Amalfi Coast to everyone who likes hiking. The best hikes are the one from Amalfi to Atrani by the stairs (duration: short, level: easy), or from Amalfi to Pontone and the Ferriere Valley (duration: medium, level: medium), the hike from Atrani-Amalfi to Ravello (duration: medium, level: medium), and the "Walk Of The Gods" from Agerola to Praiano-Positano (duration: long, level: hard). We gathered two maps here, to help you along the trails of the Amalfi coast. Enjoy, and remember the basic rules: never go on a hike alone, always bring a charged mobile phone with at least one local emergency number, bring a basic first aid kit if you can, and always walk, never run.

Local wines of Campania are Falanghina, Fiano, and Greco di tufo, in the whites' department, while the region's reds are the Aglianico, which is named after its grape like Falanghina, the Taurasi, the Per'e Palummo, and the Lacrima Cristi (Christ's tear). The original grapes used to make these wines originally came from Greece, together with the know-how to grow them and to turn them into wine. The whites of the area are quite fruity and fresh, and they ideally go with fish and sea-food. While the Aglianico, Per'e Palummo, and Lacrima Cristi are robust reds with a subtle scent which accompany cured meats, ham and salame, and typical cheese such as caciocavallo, provolone, and provola affumicata (smoked cheese). The Taurasi instead stands out among the region's reds as the special reserve. In the last two decades the wine makers of Campania have generally improved their production process, and added a few new numbers to their repertoire such as rosè, passitos, and a few sparkling proseccos. Make sure you taste them if you visit the Amalfi Coast.
