About this tour
A four-hour trek across the Sorrento Peninsula's southern edge, tracing an 8 km coastal path to Punta Campanella where the landscape drops away and Capri rises across the water. Your guide navigates limestone cliffs and coastal scrub, pointing out where the Sorrento and Amalfi shores meet. Moderate fitness required; bring water and sturdy shoes.

What to expect
You'll start from the meeting point and climb onto the peninsula's spine, following a well-established track through low vegetation. The path alternates between open ridge sections with sweeping sea views and shaded stretches through coastal scrub. As you approach Punta Campanella, the landscape becomes more exposed, the cliffs steeper. The headland itself is a working lighthouse point with a small tower; views stretch back along both coasts and out to Capri's silhouette. The return follows the same route. Pace is steady rather than punishing, with natural breaks for photos and catching your breath.
Good to know
Arrange your own transport to the trailhead; the guide meets you there. Bring at least 1.5 litres of water and an energy snack—no facilities exist on the route. Wear proper hiking boots and sun protection. The path is exposed; avoid midday heat in summer.
