Walking the Footsteps of Gods
To see Amalfi in her glamourous travel-mag spreads is to catch but a glimpse of her beauty: those ruin-topped cliffs on chic Capri; the rugged mountain trails lined with cypress groves and rosemary around Ravello; and the famed Path of the Gods above Positano, a route so divine it can turn atheists into true believers. With private boats and insider knowledge, we’ll explore these majestic hills with a local naturalist, take lunch in a mountain hut with our pal Salvatore, sip a drink poolside in decidedly Italian luxury at the Hotel Caruso, and wrap it all up with… well, a girl’s got to have some secrets, no?
