Amalfi coast hiking trail with Vesuvio volcano views

Travelling south along the coast from Naples towards Amalfi, we passed through Pompeii, and then, just before the Sorrento peninsular swinged into view in front of us, to the west, mushroomed a small town called Castellamare di Stabia. While it was not quite so picturesque, we didn’t want to drive too long so we had decided to settle there for the night – actually in a villa-like place just outside of town, with fragrant orange and lemon gardens, and panoramic views towards the Vesuvio volcano. So far, so good.

The Amalfi coast in April – secluded hiking trips

The Amalfi coast (Costiera Amalfitana), overlooking the brilliant turquoise blues of the Tyrrhenian sea from the vantage point of the hill-tiered, perfumed-lemon-groves-dotted Sorrento peninsula, has become famous the world over for its dramatic landscape.

And of course everyone congregates along the tight coastal strip to take in the beauty of the unique coastline. However, do not despair – if you’re up for a bit of walking it is still possible to have it all to yourself, so to speak.
