Cycle Cilento & the Amalfi Coast

Cycling is a great way to explore the stunning natural and cultural treasures of Campania. This tour takes us through the best routes and contrasts of the region, from the relatively unknown and unspoilt Cilento to the popular lively Amalfi Coast. The Cilento National Park is largely undisturbed by the 21st Century and as we cycle through quaint fishing villages we realise that the traditional way of life is still very evident. We also visit the Greco-Roman city of Paestum, with its three major Doric style temples, before heading to the lovely town of Minori on the Amalfi Coast. Here we cycle on some of the most scenic routes in the world, while visiting beautiful towns including Positano and of course Amalfi itself. All the cycling will help to build our appetite for the fine food that the area is famous for!

We stay at comfortable three- and four-star hotels with en suite facilities plus one night in a charming agriturismo – a beautifully converted farmhouse. The hotels have been chosen for their warm hospitality and typical Italian character. All hotels have either a swimming pool or a beach nearby, which will be greatly appreciated in summer. Most of the hotels have restaurants serving regional cuisine and delicious local produce.
