The Amalfi Coast and Capri Walking tour is a magical chance to tour one of Italy’s most picture-perfect regions on foot, from the shimmering sea to imposing volcanoes and everything in between.
Savour walking along the sea in the stunning Amalfi Coast on this walking tour, which begins with the fresh ocean air of Sorrento and the lovely Capri Island.

Day 2 Capri Day Trip
The first adventure in your walking tour of the Amalfi Coast takes you by ferry to Capri Island, the “pearl of the Bay of Naples.” You can choose between two walks around the island. The first walk on Capri is an easy trip to Emperor Tiber’s villa, where the ruler was said to have thrown his rivals off the cliff (lovely!). The gardens are luxurious and the views over the Gulf of Naples are fantastic. The second option for a walk today is perfect for those wanting to admire views of Monte Solaro and Punta Carena, as you’ll walk from Anacapri up Monte Solaro, where you can enjoy a cable car ride past picture-worthy views. Then, you can descend down to Punta Carena, where you can optionally continue to the Blue Grotto on one of the most beautiful trails on the island. Tough choices today!

Day 3 Walk & Swim at Marina del Cantone
Today, start with a private transfer to Sant’Agata, where you’ll walk to the stunning beach of Marina del Cantone. A little break for a swim and some sun is only natural here, but once you’re done enjoying the bay it’s off to enjoy a walk with views of Capri, the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Naples, and Mount Vesuvius.
To complete today’s walk, you can either walk from Termini to Marina del Cantone, walk from Sant'Agata to Marina del Cantone, or forgo the transfers altogether to walk from Sorrento to Marina del Cantone depending on how far you wish to go on foot.
