Amalfi Coast describes 32 day-walks, ranging from 3km to 11km in length. The
walks explore the Sorrento Peninsula, Amalfi Coast and Monti Lattari, as well as
the islands of Capri and Ischia in the Gulf of Naples. The whole area is
crisscrossed by ancient mule tracks, pilgrim routes and goat tracks, offering a
variety of walking from family strolls to strenuous treks across terrain from
paved paths to verdant hillside paths and rough volcanic scree. Split into the
five sections of Ischia, Capri, Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, each walk is
accompanied by relevant public transport information as well as a sketch map.
The book also provides local and practical information, accommodation options
and an Italian?English glossary. The steep southern edge of the Sorrento
peninsula, famous for its medieval villages perched atop plunging cliffs, with
their near-vertical vineyards and lemon orchards, is recognised as a World
Heritage Site. This coastline, the rugged landscape behind, crowned by the Monti
Lattari, and the idyllic islands of Capri and Ischia together make a perfect
holiday destination for walkers.
