Walking and hiking are very popular in this area and a great way to see the country side away from the usually routes and get some exercise. There are various companies which organise planned excursions, such as Giovanni Visettis and Die Küste van Amalfi or you can ramble around by yourself.

An air tour is another way to see the Amalfi coast and the islands, Capri and Ischia, a trip you certainly won’t forget. There are numerous towns around to visit, such as Pompeii, perhaps one of the most popular tourist attraction in Italy, which gets over a million visitors a year. It offers an insight into ancient Roman life unseen else where. Allow around 4 hours to wander around, if not more for comfort.

Amalfi, on the Amalfi Coast, has one small beach and there are quieter ones in nearby Atrani and Minori. These are also slightly less expensive than their neighbours and a good option for those seeking budget accommodation. Many of the beaches are pebbly rather than sandy although there are a few private sandy beaches.
