The steep southern edge of the Sorrento peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples, is famous for its medieval villages perched above plunging cliffs with near-vertical vineyards and lemon orchards. Combined with the rugged landscape of the Monti Lattari further inland, and the idyllic islands of Capri and Ischia, the Amalfi Coast makes a perfect holiday destination for walkers.

Walking on the Amalfi Coast by Gillian Price describes 30 days walks from 3km to 11km in length. Every single walk in this guidebook can be accessed by public transport, as indeed all the research was done. Services are reliable, punctual and very reasonably priced.

The Amalfi Coast, Sorrento peninsula and the island of Capri and Ischia are beautiful walking destinations at any time of year. Spring is warmly recommended for lovers of wild flowers and mild air temperatures. Midsummer can be pretty hot, though sea breezes can usually be counted on. Autumn brings crystal clear skies, russet colours and quieter paths. Winter can be superb with few other visitors and low season prices; however, strong winds and stormy conditions can lower temperatures dramatically.
