Summer In Italy had a good article in today’s newsletter about the walking trails on the Sorrento peninsula. Maybe @Valerie wrote it? She recommended this area to me recently as having good walking and being a bit less insane than the Amalfi Coast.
Hiking information:
We’ve stayed in Sorrento but 20 years ago. On day trips recently it seemed very crowded. We’ve stayed in Positano twice and Praiano once. I loved our Amalfi Coast trips but it is difficult to get around there. The buses can be crowded to the point of standing for an hour on a bus racing along winding roads. Driving worked better for us but that is intense too. Ferries are probably a good alternative.
This area suited us better when I was able to walk straight uphill for an hour or more to get to the high level footpaths. Not sure up I am up to that now.
I would love to return to this area. A few days in Naples, a week in the Sorrento/Amalfi Coast area, then down to Basilicata. Travel dreaming!
Any suggestions?
