Sorrento, Amalfi Coast and Capri by Julian Tippett

Sorrento, Amalfi Coast and Capri by Julian Tippett

Sorrento, Amalfi and Capri is a wonderful area for walkers, brilliantly described by Julian Tippett. Accident of history and steepness of terrain have preserved a network of ancient footpaths which reaches from the coastal towns of the Neapolitan Riviera into the surrounding countryside. These paths take you almost from your hotel doorstep up into the lemon groves. You can visit hillside villages or remote monasteries and be regaled by the most stunning of views all along the way. The paths are often paved in stone or, if climbing steep hillsides, consist of flights of steps. The flowers are a constant delight: from broom and rosemary in March to freesias and cistus in May. In autumn, the woods are carpeted with cyclamen. Most of the paths described can be followed easily by people who do not claim to be regular walkers, though committed hikers will like them just the same. If you're having a 'lazy' day, you can just take a bus up into the hills and walk back down to your hotel.

"We enjoyed fantastic walks based on Sorrento and its marvellous network of local country buses! I was pleased to be able to read the book before we left the UK and found much helpful information which allowed us to maximise the short time we spent in the areaIndeed, the local holiday rep was so impressed by our local knowledge, courtesy of your book, that she took down details and sent a request to her mother to forward a copy to her! She felt that this was the first detailed guide book to this particular part of Italy.I recommend it to all my friends, as I do not think that there is a better publication for those of us who want to explore the 'real' countryside of Europe." (E.M.W., Crewe)"
