Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods)
Must-DoIconicFrom Bomerano to Nocelle — 7.8 km of cliffside trail 500m above the sea with views to Capri. The most famous hike on the coast and it earns every bit of hype. Take the SITA bus from Amalfi to Bomerano, walk to Nocelle, stairs down to Positano.
Valle delle Ferriere
Hidden GemFamilyA nature reserve hiding a waterfall and subtropical ferns in a deep valley above Amalfi. Start from Pontone village. Shaded the whole way — perfect escape from summer heat. €5 reserve entrance.
Monte Faito via CAI Path 40
AdvancedFrom Positano to the summit of Monte Faito at 1,131m. Relentless climbing on ancient mule paths through holm oak forest. The views from the top span the entire Bay of Naples. Return by cable car to Castellammare.
Punta Campanella
Hidden GemFrom Termini (Massa Lubrense) to the tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula. An ancient Roman watchtower, views of Capri just 5 km away, and a secret swimming spot below the lighthouse ruins.
Amalfi to Ravello (1,700 steps)
Must-DoThe historic stairway from Amalfi to Ravello via Atrani and Pontone — 1,700 steps through lemon groves. Arrive in Ravello for Villa Rufolo gardens. Take the bus back down (legs will thank you).
Don't miss
Sentiero degli Dei is the marquee hike, but Valle delle Ferriere is the local secret — you'll have a waterfall practically to yourself on a Tuesday morning.
