Self guided walk following the ‘Footpath of the Gods’ with
time in Sorrento and the Isle of Capri
Hercules loved a nymph called Amalfi and sought the most beautiful place
in the world to immortalize her. Seeking the same beauty, this sensational
walking itinerary moves further south in Italy to discover the dramatic
Amalfi coast where the mountains quite literally tumble to the sea. A land
of 'everlasting Spring', golden light, charming villages, monasteries and
isolated farmsteads, you'll walk along the flower‑strewn coastal paths that
thread all these natural highlights together. You'll also explore areas of near
wilderness along the Monti Lattari with impressive cliffs rising up to 1400m.
There is no shortage of spectacular viewpoints along the Amalfi coast with
the omnipresent blue of the Mediterranean a constant reminder of the
special part of the world you are in as you make your way to Positano and
finally Sorrento, which has good access to some other walks and is also a
convenient place for an excursion to the beautiful Isle of Capri.

Explore the romantic Mediterranean trails of Sardinia's
Montiferru mountains
Sardinia is an inspirational island of natural beauty with a mix of Italian and
Spanish cultures. Walking from the black mountains of Montiferru to the
Sinis wetlands you will discover beaches, bays, headlands, ancient ruins
and historical sites. This is a gentle walk crossing a variety of terrain and
home to much bird life especially in the spring. The Montiferru mountains,
a basaltic area famous for green forests, clear spring water and local
'red' beef provide wonderful walking opportunities with sweeping coastal
views, charming accommodations and numerous swimming opportunities.
Bird watchers will be entertained by the large colonies of Grey Herons,
Pink Flamingos and a wealth of other bird life, while the ancient Spanish
watchtowers, small villages and the ancient site of Tharros occupied by the
Phoenicians, Punics and Romans offer welcome distractions for those keen
to learn more about the island's history and culture. Whilst walking you'll
also come across artichoke fields, Vernaccia vineyards, olive groves and the
Cabras Lagoon, famous for grey mullets and its 'Bottarga'.
