Sample homemade lemonade from citrus orchards along the way to Ravello, the charming “city of music” that’s home to the historic Villa Cimbrone hotel and garden. Consider adding on the spectacular Villa Rufolo here, where romantic-era landscaping inspired the opera composer Richard Wagner in the 19th century, as well as botany buffs and photographers today.
The next morning, your group will drive along the coastline to Bomerano, an alpine-like village nicknamed “Little Switzerland.” Hike the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), an undulating mountain path that reveals panoramic views, hidden coves, and terraced villages. This celebrated route was once a mule trail for hauling the upland valley’s fior di latte mozzarella down to the coast and supplies, such as fish and lemons, back up.
Today, it makes for a spectacular approach to Positano, a cliffside town with steep winding streets and a pebbled beach. Once the guided hike ends, you’re at leisure to lunch, browse boutiques, or hit the beach before returning to La Lucertola in the afternoon. Expect to log around 5.5 miles today with an elevation gain of 1,214 feet.
