Once a vital artery linking Amalfi to the inland hamlets, Via Maestra dei Villaggi is now an enchanting path that winds between suspended villages and provides breathtaking views. This route passes through the villages of Lone and Pastena, with a diversion to Pogerola, a picturesque hamlet perched in the mountains. To get here, we highly recommend public transport over driving: https://www.visitamalfi.info/en/getting-there/
With gentle climbs and a fair few steps to tackle, the route provides unforgettable views of the coast. You’ll walk among fragrant lemon groves and past ancient medieval houses with arched loggias and barrel vaults. Churches decorated with colourful majolica (tin-glazed earthenware), dry stone walls built with centuries of patience and terraces overlooking the blue Tyrrhenian Sea make this path a magnificently scenic and historic journey.
The landscape combines visages of natural beauty and human endeavour. Every curve tells of pilgrimage and ancient agriculture. In Pogerola, we suggest a visit to the historic centre and its churches.
To return to Amalfi, a gentle two-kilometre (1.2 mi) descent along Via Nuova (komoot.com/tour/2240140483) awaits. It's a walk immersed in greenery and the perfect way to end your journey.

Longfellow Walk
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Lined with cypresses and pines that cling to the rocks, the walk offers glimpses of the port and the pine forest, where the greenery disappears into the horizon. It is a journey between nature and poetry, where every step seems to echo the verses of those who first captured its soul.
