Hike Amalfi Coast Italy!

There are only 15 landscapes in all of Europe stunning and impressive enough to be listed by the UNESCO World Heritage Organization as “cultural landscapes.” And the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy is arguably the most beautiful. This Mediterranean coastline boasts terraced lemon gardens, multi-hued houses clinging to steep cliffs, centuries-old cathedrals and epic views of the warm Tyrrhenian Sea. There are also an enormous variety of walking experiences here from meandering, medieval paved lanes and tracks through terraced olive and lemon groves to more rugged pathways in pine forests and along the coastline up to stunning viewpoints. This is an ancient land, one in which its residents live a healthy lifestyle that includes daily strolls along cobblestone streets, delicious fresh seafood, and relaxing moments in the sunshine. It is a place where you can’t help but marvel at the vistas while simultaneously looking inward at your own lifestyle and what makes you happy.

• Marvel at the views of Naples and Mt Vesuvius from verandas in Sorrento.
• Indulge in constant reminders of the past, from the monasteries, the churches, ruined lime kilns, centuries-old towns and villages and, of course, the story telling. (The Greek Sirens were said to live on an island off the coast near here.)
