Expert insight: Island-hopping in the Bay of Naples

“The great advantage of walking is that you really do get to explore the true nature of these incredible places. The islands of the Bay of Naples are home to secluded beaches, picture-perfect fishing villages and beautiful views. Capri is, by far, the most famous island we visit, but there are many ways to avoid the town and leave the day trippers behind. When you go on a walk, the real island reveals itself. And it’s spectacular, with coastal paths winding their way through enigmatic Roman villas, limestone caverns and aquamarine grottoes. Ischia is altogether wilder. A volcanic island, famous for its hot springs and spas, it offers panoramic coastal trails and views – on a clear day over to the dominant cone of Vesuvius.”

The Cinque Terre and Portofino are famous places so you have to accept they are busy but this trip still gives you lots of time out of the towns walking through the forests and mountain paths. There are a lot of Steps but the views are worth it. I think its a perfect level 3 it pushes you at times (especially in the hot summer) but there is a nice balance of easier sections where you can just soak in the views and take lots of photos!
The Hotel in Moneglia is a great location right across from the Beach, you can get up early for a swim!
The Hotel also has a Jacuzzi and a Wellness Swimming pool – the spa jets are a great way to ease the muscles!
The Resturants in the area are of a really good standard and the guides are great at recommendations!

Melissa Hammond Walks of the Cinque Terre and Portofino

This was our sixth Exodus trip (and overall one of the best). The walks were interesting with spectacular scenery and varied wildlife (both flora and fauna), and we learnt a new definition of the term ‘more or less flat’. The hotels were all good, the first two full of character and the final one in a great location with magnificent views over Sagres harbour and with extraordinarily helpful staff. The hotel breakfasts offered great variety and were excellent fuel for the mornings’ walking. The non-walking activities were well-chosen and interesting. There were visits to a ceramics workshop and an artisan olive oil presser which were fascinating and the tasting at the high tech Vicentino winery very near the Alentejo coast offered a different dimension. The wines were very good, with a noticeable salty tang.
The walks were on paths that were generally good or very good, other than about 1km on day 6 which is over broken rock, but trail shoes or boots should have good treads as some short sections were quite loose and eroded (and could have been slippery if the ground had been wet). We were a little late for the best of the wild flowers on the dunes but they were still very varied and attractive. We saw storks nesting on rock pinnacles just offshore (apparently the only place in the world where they nest on sea stacks) and were lucky enough to see three peregrine falcons on one of the coastal walks.
Overall, this was a great week with friendly and amusing companions from Canada, Scotland and England and superlative guides. If we did it again, we would probably go in the late Spring rather than the early Summer, both to have slightly more varied wild flowers and (perhaps!) to avoid walking in 34 degrees in the hills, but we would thoroughly recommend the trip.
