The best hike on the Amalfi Coast, offering you the most beautiful views along the Coast. It was named for its mythological roots in the tale of Odyssey where the gods once rushed to Ulysses from the sirens of Capri and mapped out this path in the process! The hike will take roughly 2 to 2.5 hours and is 4 mi/6.44 kms long. It is easy to use public SITA bus or hop in a taxi to get to the trailhead.

When visiting the Amalfi Coast, a trip to the island of Capri is a must, with its bright blue sea and green rugged landscapes. Ferries run from every destination along the Amalfi Coastline. From the ferry, view the intriguing Faraglioni rock formations and the Li Galli nature reserve and the Blue Grotto, a magical sea cave where the sea glows electric blue. Then disembark at Capri and take some free time to explore the island, perhaps riding the chairlift to Monte Solaro or visiting the Villa San Michele.

Located between Positano and Ravello, Furore is one of the reasons the “boot” is one of the most sought-after and multi-facet destinations on Earth. It’s famous mainly because of the Fjord – a small crack in the rocks, an ancient gorge that was a hidden place for the bandits in the past. To experience this stunning location, you can rent a boat or take a public SITA bus and walk around the town of Furore above the beach.

Mount Vesuvius is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world, and the only volcano to have erupted in Europe in the past century. This is one activity that you can potentially do on your own only if you have a car however you need to book all in advance, both parking and entrance tickets. Important note to all guests, you cannot buy the entrance ticket at the gate. Our best recommendation is to join a tour, especially because they usually come as day trip including Pompeii. From the entrance, the hike is fairly easy and about 30 minutes to get to the top.

Pompeii's survival over nearly two millennia makes it one of the most important sites of historical, archaeological, and human significance in the world. The intimate insight into hundreds of homes, businesses, and lives of ordinary citizens of Ancient Rome, fantastically preserved at scale underneath those layers of rock and ash, set it apart from any other relic or ruin of the age. From its buried treasures, historians and archaeologists have been able to piece together much of the society’s tastes, diets, art, hierarchies, lusts, and generals ways of life. We recommend setting aside a full morning or afternoon for Pompeii. The site is open from 8.30 am to 7.30 pm in October.

If you’ve been to Pompeii you may want to consider Herculaneum for your next visit. It is much smaller than Pompeii but arguably in better condition with definitely fewer visitors. Herculaneum was a small settlement south of Naples on the base of Mt. Vesuvius that, like Pompeii, was flash-frozen in time. It holds some of the world’s best-preserved ancient artwork, from mosaics to frescoes and even some skeletons left over from the first century A.D.
