Cycle Cilento & the Amalfi Coast

An unforgettable trip from the quiet, laid back Cilento to the vibrant Amalfi Coast

This was an amazing cycling experience with breathtaking views that far exceeded my expectations. Everything was really well organized and thought through. My special thanks go to our guide Paolo - he is The Best. We also have been lucky with the weather and the traffic along Amalfi coast was pretty light. So, everything was just perfect!

A super trip, exploring contrasting areas of southern Italy, led by an amazing guide, with a lovely group of fellow cyclists

We had a great week in Italy's Cilento and Amalfi Coast. The group got along well and our guide Paolo was amazing! The coast was busy and roads narrow at some areas but with the confidence and guidance of Paolo we made it thru it all. The views well worth it all!

This cycling trip was an amazing way to see the region. The days before Amalifi we're a great mix of seaside views, authentic food and rustic towns. There aren't too many tourists around which is really nice. It feels like the real Italy. We then spent the last 3 days in Amalafi which although beautiful (and my reason for doing the trip), wasn't as great as the inital days. You get used to the smaller towns and less people, so coming to Amalfi can feel like a bit of a shock. The cycling itself was good, some tough climbs, but worth the reward of the views you see. We did cycle in 30 degree with no cloud cover each day which made it challenging, but it was well managed by our tour leader giving us ample breaks and time for water. Overall it was a fantastic trip and one I very much enjoyed.

Cycling holidays in Italy are always good - it’s the combination of the exercise, the food and the towns and this one gives you the amazing Amalfi coast as well. The trip is a great way to see it . The main towns of Amalfi and Positano are pretty popular these days and so cycling to / through them gives you the highlights and the views without over-exposure to the crowds. Minori, where we stay the last three nights, is a good base and much quieter. The first few cycling days are off the beaten track, with less traffic, nice villages / harbours plus the excellent Ancient Greek site of Paestum. A nice balance with good accommodations throughout.

Great cycling, beautiful sceneries, lovely company

Arrived in Naples to heavy rain....however Sunday started cloudy but warm and the weather just kept improving. Hotels were very good, perhaps Hotel Rita could be improved in the evening meal and breakfast (Buffalo Burgers - avoid). Lunchtimes gave us a good variety of Italian food. Cycling on the actual Amalfi coast is "interesting" but we all survived. Great views throughout the whole holiday with some hills to test your legs and lungs. Just the right amount of history and monuments. The 'free day' gave us a great (lots of steps) walk.

8 bikers and our wonderful guide Sara enjoyed a beautiful week visiting the Cilento National Park and Amalfi Coast.

A lovely itinerary, brilliant leader, really nice group, trip well paced and everything was so thoughtfully organised.
