Hiking The Amalfi Coast
The majority of tourists visit Italy to see the famous historical buildings, museums, and architecture but lots of them don’t know that Italy can be a great place for hiking tours and outdoors activities. While Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples are great places for art, Italy also offers some of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe. Asides from the roman ruins, churches filled with medieval and baroque art, sculptures, and fancy art museums, perhaps the best place to seek the sun, drink some of the best wine in the country and do some hiking tours, there is no better place than the Amalfi Coast.
Over the years, this incredible place has become a paradise for people who love nature and the outdoors.
The Amalfi coastline is legendary and its beauty has inspired many movies, writers, and musicians. There are hiking trails of differing difficulty connecting hilltop villages and coastal communities. The hiking trails are often steep and weave through the dense forest and suddenly you will come across olive groves, vivid colorful whitewashed villages, and the turquoise azure waters.
You can walk along the fragrant gardens of Ravello watching the scary but dramatic plunging off the cliffs and around the fishing villages that lie in the lush green valleys.
Today the entire Amalfi coast has been recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage area because of its natural beauty, steep coastal mountains which plunge hundreds of feet into the sea. You will get to see stunning hillside views of lush forests, picturesque towns and exotic views of the pristine blue waters. And all this seen on foot.
