Sitting just south of Naples, the Amalfi Coast lies on the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, located in the Gulf of Salerno in Southern Italy. The area has a fame out of all proportion to its length - it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for good reason!
LessA thrilling hike, starting in Bomerano and climbing to the summit of Tre Calli, with wonderful views throughout. Mount Tre Calli stands at an intimidating 1,122 metres above sea level, but as the hike begins from the mountain village of Bomerano, only 500 metres of ascent are required to reach the top.
Much of the walk between Scala and Amalfi passes through Ferriere Nature Reserve. Ferriere translates as "ironworks", so as you brush through waist-high ferns, skip over streams on stepping stones and admire views to Amalfi, consider the old iron workers whose footprints you walk in.
No matter how much the coastline and nearby piazzas of Amalfi may be bustling with tourists, within a few minutes of this hike you will escape the crowds and be greeting locals with your heartiest ‘Buongiorno!’ This is a glimpse into how life in Amalfi has existed for generations; an old man balances precariously atop a wooden lattice, 3 metres high, tending to his lemon trees, which droop under the weight of the grapefruit-sized, yellow treasure for which the region is famed.
A well known landmark and the start point for the wonderful "Footpath of the Gods - Tramonto D'Oro Hotel Praiano to Positano" hike, the Hotel Tramonoto d'Oro is one of the most scenic places to stay in Europe!
