A steep terrace of citron-green trees presses against the cliff, the sea below pushing light into every leaf. You start on a narrow trail in the Lattari Mountains and quickly feel the coast opening—vineyards, carob, and rows of Sfusato Amalfitano lemons leaning toward the Tyrrhenian wind. Farmer Giovanni meets the group in a grove, guiding you between stone walls that mark centuries of cultivation and offering a taste of homemade granita and lemon salad.

A steep terrace of citron-green trees presses against the cliff, the sea below pushing light into every leaf. You start on a narrow trail in the Lattari Mountains and quickly feel the coast opening—vineyards, carob, and rows of Sfusato Amalfitano lemons leaning toward the Tyrrhenian wind. Farmer Giovanni meets the group in a grove, guiding you between stone walls that mark centuries of cultivation and offering a taste of homemade granita and lemon salad.
This route threads cultural history and coastal geology: terraces hewn from limestone in Roman times, small settlements like Minori built where freshwater springs met trade routes, and agricultural practices that shaped the Amalfi economy for generations. The Roman Villa of Minori is a short, interpretive stop—mosaic floors and coastal vistas that explain why people stayed here for millennia.
Expect an easy 3–4 hour walk over 4–6 km of uneven cobbles and packed dirt with roughly 200–350 m of cumulative ascent. Trails alternate sun-exposed terraces and short shaded scrub; the sea often acts like a compass, visible and urging you onward.
Practical tip: start early for cooler temperatures and quieter passage through village lanes. Footwear with good tread and at least 1–1.5 liters of water are essential; pockets of steep steps reward careful footing. Public transport connects Minori, Maiori and Amalfi if you plan a one-way shuttle back to town. Finish at Sal De Riso for the Delizia al Limone—bring cash or card and a readiness to savor one of the coast’s signature flavors.
