Description
On this combo hiking-and-biking tour of the Amalfi Coast and Cilento, the beauty of pastel villages atop cliffs that plunge toward the shimmering blue Mediterranean will intoxicate your senses. Along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, we follow peaceful trails and coastal roads past silvery olive trees, secluded fishing inlets, sandy beach resorts, and aromatic citrus groves. Days filled with wonder and beauty conclude deliciously with evening feasts that abound in savory southern Italian cuisine, famous for its richness of flavor and natural ingredients. Fettuccine al limone, zuppa di pesce, risotto alla marinara, or spaghettini alle vongole are just a few of the traditional dishes that will seduce your taste buds and inspire you to celebrate the bounty and goodness of life itself!
