Amalfi Trip Overview
To get away from the heat and traffic of the main Amalfi Coast road, this ride towards our beautiful mountains is the best way to still enjoy the sea view, while exploring a less known, but not less beautiful, side of the area.
The ride starts with a long, but not too steep climb, which may not be for anyone on a regular bike, so consider choosing a pedal assisted e-bike unless you’re up for some challenge!
Once in Agerola, a wide rural town overlooking the coast, there’s a lot to taste and explore, and on a full day ride we can take our time there, before starting the exciting descent back to Amalfi.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Furore, Furore, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
The long climb up to Agerola passes through Furore, a colorful village decorated with many artworks that can be seen at the roadsides, alongside several vineyards.
Stop At: Fausto Coppi Monument, SS366, 51-37, 84010 Agerola NA, Italy
At the entry of Agerola, and the end of the long main climb, riders are rewarded with a viewpoint above Furore and a monument to the Italian cycling champion Fausto Coppi, who won a race doing the same climb.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Parco Corona – Bomerano, Via Casalone, 48, 80051 Pianillo NA, Italy
On a shorter half day ride, we can reach this other breathtaking viewpoint not too far, from where you can get a sight of Praiano and the Path of the Gods in the distance.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Castello Lauritano, Via Radicosa, 26, 80051 San Lazzaro NA, Italy
One of the most gorgeous viewpoints over Amalfi Coast, this is a regular stop on the full day version of this tour, as it’s also close to the restaurant for lunch break. However, it is possible in some cases to make all the way there on a half day ride too, by keeping up a good cycling speed and other stops to a minimum.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Belvedere Di Paipo, Via Paipo, 10, 80051 Agerola NA, Italy
Another favorite viewpoint, this time facing Positano from above the Path of the Gods. This is an optional destination only for full day tours, as it requires a quite challenging stretch, so not everyone might want or be up for it. It’s possible to decide on the spot, after lunch break, whether to give it a try.
Duration: 10 minutes
