Path of the Lemons: Ravello – Minori – Maiori
One of the most beautiful walks on the Amalfi Coast is the trail connecting Ravello, Minori, and Maiori. It is called the Path of the Lemons (Sentiero dei Limoni), and the trail passes through lemon terraces, stone staircases, and panoramic views of the sea and villages.
The whole trail has over 1000 steps, with some very steep sections. Climbing from Minori to Ravello is challenging but possible. However, most tourists prefer to start in Ravello and walk down – it’s faster and easier. How to get to Ravello is explained on its page.
Route Description
From Ravello, walk down the stairs towards Minori. As you approach, amazing panoramic views of the coast, the bay, and the village below will open up. The descent takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on your pace. Comfortable shoes are recommended.
In Minori, you can take a break: visit the basilica, walk along the promenade, or stop at a café. Read more about Minori on its separate page. After that, the second part of the trail begins – from Minori to Maiori.
This section is easier: the trail goes along the hillside between lemon gardens. On the way you’ll see sea views, vineyards, and small farms. Walking time is about 40–45 minutes.
In Maiori, you can relax on the large sandy beach. Read more about Maiori and its beach on its page.
