Forget the car, put on a pair of hiking boots and walk the ancient connecting roads of the Amalfi Coast. Mule tracks and paths winding through hills overlooking the sea, traced by farmers and traders to get from one point to another on the Coast when State Highway 163 had not yet been built.
You walk among lemon groves and small vegetable gardens wrested from the mountains, meet goats and mules on the way, come across hermitages and monasteries until you find yourself suspended over overhanging views of the sea. Not to be recommended for those suffering from dizziness.
