Agerola, Amalfi Coast — between sea and mountains

Surely you too have faced this eternal summer dilemma: you go to the sea or in the mountains. The choice is difficult, but fortunately there are places where you can enjoy both the sea and the mountains.
Agerola is located in the heart of the Lattari Mountains, but at the same time it overlooks the sea of the Amalfi Coast . The particular and magical location of Agerola assured her the name of the 'Magic Land'. Agerola is not a city of art and you will not find the monuments there. Its attraction and natural wealth constitute the spectacular paths surrounded by greenery and suspended between sky and sea. The most famous is obviously the Path of the Gods, renamed this way by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. The path leads to Positano allowing you to admire an enchanting scenery of the Sorrento Peninsula. Another path, leading to Amalfi and called The Path of the Ancient Republic, enchanted Goethe instead.
Holidays in Agerola will bring you closer to nature made of mountains, chestnut woods and lush crops, but the village is also an excellent starting point for excursions in the area. Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello are some of the interesting places a stone's throw from Agerola.
