Photo: KOMPASS Maps
The tour offers magnificent coastal views around Amalfi. The stark contrasts between the tourist-filled town of Amalfi and its mountainous hinterland are particularly striking. The walk through the terraced gardens demonstrates just how labor-intensive and difficult it is to plant, tend, and harvest crops here.
> You begin the loop tour at Piazza Duomo in Amalfi 01. With the cathedral behind you, walk down the alley through a house to the small Piazza dei Dogi, cross it keeping to the left, and climb the stairs of the covered Salita S. Nicola dei Greci. At a fork, turn left; the staircase then leads outdoors onto a hillside path running alongside a row of houses built into the rock. At the fork, take the left path down to the tunnel entrance; the stairs on the right lead up to the famous Hotel Cappuccini, housed in a former monastery.
In front of the tunnel entrance, cross the street and take the bypass path around the tunnel through a former rockslide slope—now forested—to the western entrance with the old
Chapel of St. Christopher in the Grotto. Here, cross the street again and turn onto the staircase path that runs above the street, marked with red and white markings. In front of the Chapel of St.
At Maria del Carmine 02, with its impressive fresco in the passageway, turn right and head up the staircase. A steep ascent with scenic views now follows through terraced gardens with orange, lemon, and grapevines. At the top, where the marked, flat concrete path branches off to the right, leave the trail and turn left up the stairs to a fork 03. The trail now winds gently up and down through terraced gardens with sweeping views toward Pastena and its striking church perched on a promontory. The path is soon flanked by the tracks of a “Trenino,” a small freight train used to haul the harvest from the terraced gardens on the steep slope. Following the tracks, you’ll reach the 14th-century Church of S. Maria Assunta (04), situated in a panoramic location. From the church, head up to the road, cross it, and continue climbing the staircase path—a final steep ascent that takes you almost to the cliff face. You’ll now walk along a concrete path and then a small road, high above the terraces
