Sherry and her partner answered some interview questions about her recent walking holiday to the Amalfi Coast in Italy. She went on the
Amalfi Explorer, a blissful 7-day self-guided tour that takes you to all the Amalfi highlights, including Naples, Sorrento, Positano and the Island of Capri.
Prepare to be inspired to explore the gorgeous Amalfi region!

We walked about 8 miles (13km) every day to truly get a feel for the culture, cuisine, and friendly locals.
Our Amalfi coast trip was wonderful! UTracks takes care of every detail, arranging personal transport, selecting cozy and charming accommodations, and an engaging itinerary. The trip notes provided ensure that you locate and identify important landmarks on your day hikes. Sorrento and Capri are beautiful! We especially enjoyed the tranquillity and authenticity of Agerola. Path of the Gods is a breathtaking hike with glorious views of the Amalfi Coast from the mountain top you traverse.
