Hotel in Amalfi
A centrally located hotel in Amalfi will be confirmed upon your booking.
See the Amalfi Coast by bike, no pedalling required
The Amalfi Coast is perhaps the world’s most beautiful coastline. On the Amalfi Coast E-Bike Tour, you can take in this amazing scenery almost without effort. You’ll cycle with ease along the beautiful coastal road and have plenty of time to take in the scenery and stop in the villages along the way.
This short tour offers you the best of the coastal scenery in the area: first of all, the Amalfi Coast, the southern side of the peninsula, with its towering cliffs and picturesque coves. Definitely one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe! But also, the other side of the Peninsula of Sorrento, overlooking the beautiful Bay of Naples, is an area of staggering natural beauty and scattered with cultural treasures. An additional loop to the very western tip allows you to cycle ‘face-to-face’ with the beautiful island of Capri, with a long tradition as one of the premier tourist destinations in Italy.
Best known for its medieval coastal towns and inland villages such as Amalfi, Positano and Ravello and the resort town Sorrento, the area is also home to several hidden marvels. Small natural reserves, ancient paper mills, and wild mountain scenery are only a small distance away from the busy touristy centres, waiting to be explored by the aware traveller. This short tour gives you the opportunity to discover both the busy touristic and the hidden, but no less spectacular, side of the Amalfi Coast.
After your arrival at Amalfi, settle in at your centrally located hotel. By the end of the afternoon, you’ll meet for a short briefing with a representative. In case you have arrived early you may want to take your bicycles for a short ride to nearby Ravello. Ravello is a stunning medieval village, “halfway the sky and the sea,” which boasts some of the most beautiful villas with amazing views over the Amalfi Coast.
In the evening you may go for a stroll through the historical centre of Amalfi and pick out one of the nice restaurants for dinner.
On the first cycling day you’ll discover the eastern part of the Amalfi Coast, which officially starts at the charming village of Vietri sul Mare, renowned for its colourful tableware ceramics. Less known is that Vietri boasts some stunningly beautiful small hamlets tucked away in the hills. Other villages to discover are the idyllic village of Cetara, named after the Roman ‘cetus’ tuna fish, which still produces some of the world’s finest. Take your time for a cup of coffee or a cappuccino at the little bar near the tiny port of the village, overlooking the colourful fishermen’s boats lying on the white sandy beach.
Head up to Capo d’Orso, the highest point of the road, and a wonderful outlook on the whole of the Amalfi Coast and Capri. After admiring the view, ride downhill on a beautiful winding road through lemon groves, forests, and dramatic cliffs until you arrive at Maiori, the biggest town on the coast. A short stretch around the headland brings you to Minori, with its nice little centre and beautiful seaside boulevard. Then you continue with a short climb towards Castiglione, once part of the defence system of the Amalfi Republic. In case you did not visit it the day before, here you have the choice of cycling up to marvellous Ravello by bicycle or continuing to Amalfi. After passing Castiglione you will cycle through picture-perfect little Atrani with its whitewashed houses before arriving back in Amalfi.
Today you will explore the second half of the dramatic Strada Amalfitana, cycling from Amalfi to the town of Sorrento, offering wide views over the Bay of Naples. During the route you alternate great views on the Amalfitan and Sorrentine coasts. A short stretch brings you through Praiano to Positano, easily the most scenic of the towns on the coast. When arriving at Positano, do not be tempted to cycle down into the town and explore its scenic and colourful alleys, but stay on the very scenic road which circles around downtown Positano.
After Positano the coast becomes wilder and more rugged, and it is a good climb to arrive at the Colli di San Pietro, beautifully situated on the ridge that separates the Amalfi Coast from the rest of the Sorrento Peninsula. Indeed, you’ll have views both on the Amalfi Coast as well as on the Bay of Naples dominated by Mount Vesuvius. A short flat stretch then brings you to Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi. From here you’ll cycle towards the very end of the peninsula, Punta Campanella. From the very last village you have a great view of Capri.
Return along the northern coast, with wonderful views of the Bay of Naples and again Mount Vesuvius, through the charming village of Massa Lubrense. For those who want it is possible to take a detour to the seaside resort of Sorrento, perched on high vertical limestone cliffs above the sea, and visit its city walls, and the old town centre with its wonderful gardens and villas. Alternatively you turn inland again shortly before reaching Sorrento and climb slowly up to Sant’Agata sui Due Golfi again. From Sant’Agata it is a short, flat ride to the Colle di San Pietro, and then all the way back down again to Positano. Once arrived at Positano you now have the time to visit,before returning the last short stretch back to Amalfi.
After breakfast, the tour concludes. Safe travels onward!

I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!
Mikael V.
My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!
Eric S.
Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.
Valeria R.
I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
