Overview

Those looking for the most popular destinations may opt for the Amalfi Drive route, those who prefer quiet roads can choose the tour of Agerola, but this other option we offer has a bit of both: starting from Amalfi, we reach the famed town of Ravello, after a few steep km of climbing.
Definitely not an easy ride for anyone, but if you choose pedal assisted e-bikes you will barely feel the incline!
After Ravello, there's still a long climb on one of the quietest roads in this area, and once at the top you are rewarded with a view well worth your while.
We descend on a different road towards Maiori, to close a loop with a short stretch on the coast (which may get quite busy at times, so basic cycling skills are still a must).
