Simon—-Right you are!

Marilyn—-And don’t forget to get a map at the local tourist office. The Valle delle Ferriere trail is quite easy to hike, but the “Pathway of the Gods” is serious business.

Michael—The trail I hiked most recently went high above the Valle delle Ferriere… Wow. It was both stunning and perilous. Do you know if “Pathway of the Gods” goes along the entire Amalfi Coast? If it does, it’d be a better way to go than my moonlight hike along the road:)

There are indeed many hikes on the Amalfi coast! Our favourite was the Sentiero Degli Dei (Pathway of the Gods). It is a really nice way to take in the views – I still think the buses are a must for witnessing the sheer mind-boggling spacial perception of the drivers – but the hikes are of course much more serene.

Looking forward to your post on Naples as this is a city we made sure to avoid! I’ll be interested to hear what you make of its less salubrious qualities – sometimes we have a hard time getting passed these to see the charm.

These hikes sound great. I’m printing this out to save for my next Amalfi coast trip. Thanks!

Absolutely stunning… I’d love to head back to the Amalfi coast, having only spent a few days in Sorrento a few years ago.

I bet the hike was a lot more rewarding than the coaches many holidaymakers seem to see the drive from.

Great post.
