A wonderful way to see the Amalfi Coast. Our guide was a local legend and knew everyone, everywhere – meaning he gave us a real authentic taste of Italian life. Food, scenery, culture, shops, swimming, walking, cookery… we tasted it all.

Positano Trips
Greek legend says Poseidon, god of the sea, created Positano as a gift for Pasitea, a nymph he had fallen in love with. The beauty of this cliffside village on Italy’s Amalfi Coast is certainly worthy of the immortals − travellers have flocked here for centuries to explore the sun-drenched coastlines, picture-perfect streets and wisteria-draped properties.
This small jewel is bound to impress, with pink and peach terracotta houses and steep streets dotted with eateries and some of the most fashionable retailers in the Campania region. But you’ll also find there’s a wealth to discover on the outskirts of town whether on foot or by bike on our Positano holidays.
On our Highlights of the Amalfi Coast trip, you can explore the narrow alleyways and sun-filled piazzas of Amalfi, visiting the large cathedral before hopping on a fast boat to Positano. Taking in the vertical town views and shimmering turquoise coastlines will leave an indelible imprint on your memory, as you dock to explore this chic town for a couple of hours on foot. Find another Positano tour on our Amalfi Coast Family Adventure. Before learning how to whip up the perfect neapolitan pizza in Amalfi, enjoy exploring Positano, visiting the Byzantine Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption, or taking a refreshing dip on one of the world’s most iconic beaches, the Spiaggia Grande, before returning to Bomerano.
If you’re looking to explore more of the area on foot, our Walking the Amalfi Coast trip gives you the perfect opportunity to discover more of this picturesque town. It takes you past ancient stone houses and local shepherd huts along the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), before descending into Positano. Or, if you’d like to discover the region on two wheels, our Cycle Cilento & the Amalfi Coast trip includes a fantastic Positano tour, taking you along the scenic Strada Amalfitana towards the pastel-coloured towns of Amalfi, Praino and Positano, with beautiful views over the whole peninsula and out to the enchanting island of Capri.

June Horwich Walking the Amalfi CoastFantastic views of the Amalfi Coast were always in sight. Three of the hikes have a couple of thousand stairs each which made mornings a little less comfortable until our calves became acclimatized. The recognizable landmarks helped with orientation when we caught sight of them from varying perspectives on different days, thus providing a strong sense of the geography of the area. There are abundant olives, lemons, oranges, figs, and other fruits in terraced farms along the way, with occasional clusters of pale houses in the larger towns we visited.
