Often referred to as Il Mezzogiorno (literally ‘midday’), the south of Italy is a joy to discover on foot. Choose one of our walking holidays on the Amalfi Coast or the Sorrento Peninsula, and you can escape the crowds who come by road to admire Europe’s most dramatic coastline: our routes take quieter paths and ancient mule tracks linking villages which cling precariously to the slopes amid expanses of lemon groves. Alternatively, our walking holiday in Puglia, the olive-clad ‘heel’ of Italy, reveals Baroque treasures and ancient ‘trulli’ houses, and also includes a stay in Lecce, the jewel of the region, which is often referred to as ‘the Florence of the South’.
Our walking holidays along the Amalfi Coast and through Puglia are meticulously researched, and you walk at your own pace guided by our detailed notes. Your luggage is transported between hotels during our walking holidays on the Amalfi Coast, so all you need to carry are the bare essentials (in Puglia, we include car hire so you are free to explore at leisure). To be sure of choosing the holiday that is right for you, find out how our independent walking holidays work and how they are graded.
