If you are on holiday on the Amalfi Coast, one thing you absolutely must do is take the Lemons’ Path in Maiori, a walk of just over a couple of hours among the centuries-old citrus trees, the cool of the steps, and the breathtaking view.
Explore the lemons’ path in Maiori, a simple but fascinating walk that connects Maiori to Minori, on a guided tour. Discover the ancient mule track and taste the sfusato lemon native to these areas.
The guide will wait for visitors near the Church of San Giacomo a Maiori, after a brief introduction of Corso Reginna, you pass next to the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare, a church built in 1505, and go up the stairs to Torre, a small hamlet of the municipality of Minori which houses the ancient Church of San Michele Arcangelo.
Contemplate Ravello and, further away, Amalfi and Atrani, from the panoramic point of Belvedere Mortella. We then head towards the farm of Giovanni Ruocco, a well-known local farmer, who has been cultivating and taking care of his lemon groves together with his family for generations.
Take a walk among gardens of fragrant lemons, with their characteristic tapered shape, used for culinary preparations such as the delicious Amalfi lemon salad, citrus jams and lemonade which you will then enjoy in the shade of the trees.
We then continue along the Limoni path, accompanied by a fantastic panorama until we reach the church of Santa Trofimena, concluding the tour in the center of the main square of Minori.
Maiori beach is the longest on the Amalfi Coast, it extends for about a kilometer and is particularly suitable for families as it is a little more spacious and has many services close at hand, such as bars and restaurants that directly overlook the sea.
