A Gillian Price guide to walking the Sorrento Peninsula, Amalfi Coast and Monti Lattari, from Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi, and also the islands of Capri and Ischia in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, Europe. 30 graded day walks for all abilities. A UNESCO World Heritage site crossed by a network of ancient mule tracks and great public transport links.

Seasons

Spring is the best season (April-May), summer (August in particular) is crowded on the coast, from September on things get quieter and cooler. Winter can be wonderful but the odd bout of stormy weather can limit activities.

Centres

the islands of Capri and Ischia, then Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, each reachable by an excellent network of public transport, bus, train or ferry

Difficulty

all walkers catered for, from strollers to active trekkers; simple short routes on old mule tracks, but flat land is in short supply here and stepped pathways are the norm; walks are graded 1-3

Must See

the Arco Naturale and Faraglioni on Capri; ancient beach spas on Ischia; Punta Campanula reserve with Monte San Costanzo and Baia di Ieranto; Marina di Crapolla cove; orchids above Positano
* Furore Fjord * Sentiero degli Dei - 'Path of the Gods' * Valle delle Ferriere * village-to-village walks near Amalfi
