Tours of Italy

With over 200 holidays to choose from, KE Adventure Travel has one of the very best collections of trekking and walking holidays worldwide. Graded on a scale from 1 to 12, we have holidays to suit everyone. Our tougher treks are likely to involve multi-day hikes through wilderness regions, with porter support and tented accommodation. Whilst at the other end of the scale, our softer walking holidays are more likely to be hotel or lodge-based with a day-walk format and an emphasis on uncovering the area's history, culture and cuisine. From our earliest days we've developed a range of treks that include celebrated classics such as Peru's Inca Trail trek, the ascent of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro and the ever popular Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Alongside these, we have always made it a priority to seek out distinctive and unique itineraries in less familiar areas such as Armenia, Cameroon, Madagascar and Burma. Whichever of our trekking or walking holidays you choose to undertake, you can be sure you'll enjoy breaking out of your day-to-day routine and exploring exotic landscapes on foot, with the chance to experience different cultures.

Vesuvius, Pompei & the Amalfi Coast

On the south side of the rugged Sorrentine Peninsula, which separates the gulfs of Naples and Salerno, the famously picturesque Amalfi Coast is a region of steep cliffs and sheltered coves, with numerous small towns interspersed by terraced farmland where olive and lemon trees are grown. Our introduction to this charming part of Italy is a ferry ride out to the Isle of Capri, with the chance to explore amongst its villas and gardens and to take a swim, before continuing to the picturesque cliff-top town of Agerola, our base for exploration of the Amalfi Coast. During the holiday we visit the fascinating remains of the Roman town of Pompei and enjoy 3 days of hiking on ancient mule tracks above Amalfi, including the spectacular 'Walk of the Gods' which leads down from Agerola to the steep, narrow streets of the picture postcard fishing village of Positano. As a splendid finale, we have an easy walk to the summit of Vesuvius (1280m) for spectacular views over the Amalfi Coast. This is an excellent easy walking week with a real flavour of Italy. From the beginning of 2014 the Vesuvius, Pompei & Amalfi Coast Holiday will see some exicitng new changes to the itinerary. Entry fees to Pompei and Vesuvius will be included along withour new centre-based accommodation in Agerola.

Amalfi Coast Walking

Tour Map of Amalfi Coast Walking

With its incredible coastline the Amalfi region is an ideal destination for this relaxed walking holiday. Staying at an agriturismo (family-run farm), we take a variety of day walks across cliff-tops, vineyards and national parks, including the celebrated 'Walk of the Gods' from Bomerano to Positano. There is also time to explore cultural highlights such as Amalfi, Positano and Capri. We return at night to home-cooked Italian cuisine and local wine.
