About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with a taste of the region's famous lemon-based dessert before entering the Collegiata, weather and opening hours permitting. The 3-hour walk traverses a maintained but undulating path, moving from Maiori through lemon-terraced hillsides and wild Mediterranean herbs. Your guide will explain the region's history and the Sfusato Amalfitano variety's significance while you stop at a family-run grove to taste fresh lemonade. The trail descends gradually towards Minori's waterfront, ending near the basilica in the main piazza. No organised return is arranged; you can either explore Minori independently, walk back to Maiori in 10–15 minutes along the seafront, catch a local bus, or rejoin your guide if preferred.
