Discover the beauty of the
Amalfi Coast with an easy hike to waterfalls and scenic landscapes. You’ll trek to the
Mills Valley, walking on the coastline while learning about the Ancient Republic of Amalfi’s industrial and natural history. Together with an experienced hiking guide, you’ll trek through aromatic lemon groves and pass the small medieval hamlet of
Pontone (Scala), the oldest town on the Amalfi Coast.
After about an hour, you’ll reach a junction. Turn right toward a nature reserve and continue along the
Canneto River. Here you’ll find a famous oasis with waterfalls and rare plants. On rainy days, you may spot the rare
Salamandrina, a fascinating endemic amphibian. Then walk back to the junction and take the downhill path to Amalfi.
Pass the ruins of old paper mills, where inhabitants produced the famous Carta d’Amalfi (paper made in medieval times). After another hour of walking, you’ll arrive at Amalfi’s
Paper Museum, where you can learn more about the region’s historic trade. Next, stop to admire the
Amalfi Cathedral before heading back.
