Itinerary
The proposal combines a bike tour and two treks of medium difficulty.
Day 1 - Bike Tour - Amalfi - Agerola
Depart Amalfi, climb through Furore to reach Agerola where, depending on the timing and sportsmanship of the participants, one may proceed to the Lauritano Castle of San Lazzaro and/or the Paipo viewpoint, including a lunch break at a restaurant, before returning to Amalfi.
Day 2 - Pogerola Circuit
The Pogerola Circuit is a discovery of an undiscovered Amalfi: a hiking trail of medium difficulty of about 8 km.
Starting from the main square of the village of Pogerola, a hamlet of Amalfi situated on the hill of Mount Falconcello, one passes through the typical vaulted houses of the village of Pigellula and San Michele Arcangelo, a unicum of deconsecrated church with a Greek cross plan. The view of the Valley of Mills and the villages of Scala and Ravello will be a truly memorable experience.
The trail enters the heart of Amalfi’s chestnut groves at the Tavernate locality, a place that is the guardian of ancient agricultural traditions, passing among the ruins of ancient monasteries, following millennia-old mule tracks.
After a dip in the woods, the circuit continues past the Acquolella spring, reaching its highest point, and then continues down to Madonna dei Fuondi. Here the path has an unparalleled panorama, with a bird’s eye view of Amalfi, ranging from Conca dei Marini to Maiori. Return to the Amodio Square in Pogerola.
What could be better than a nice lunch after an exciting trek? Hostaria Acquolina in Pogerola is a taste atelier where you can enjoy an authentic culinary experience characterized by typical and genuine flavors accompanied by a fusion touch and innovative techniques.
After lunch, the return to Amalfi via the downhill stairs of Via Nuova provides a 2km nature trail that takes about 30 minutes to reach the town center.
Day 3 - Ziro Tower
The route departing from Amalfi leads to the village of Pontone, one of the smallest towns on the Amalfi Coast, to the quaint little square of Minuta and the ruins of the 12th-century basilica of St. Eustace.
Once we arrive at the Ziro Tower, antic Saracen ship watchtower of Angevin origin, one has the feeling of being able to touch Amalfi and Atrani from above. The Ziro Tower was later used as a prison, and it was here, in 1500, that Joan of Aragon, known as “the madwoman,” was imprisoned.
Retracing the narrow paths we arrive at Atrani, the smallest town in Italy as well as Italy’s most beautiful village.
