Minuta - Pontone - Torre dello Ziro - Amalfi
Views of the Valle dei Mulini and Ravello open up before you. The small, old villages of Minuta and Pontone occupy outstanding sites, with quiet piazzas and ruins of old fortresses and churches. Pontone has two bars and a pizzeria.
This walk should not be missed: it explores the spectacular promontory that separates Atrani from Amalfi, visits three superb viewpoints, and culminates in a visit to the castle that dominates both towns, the Torre dello Ziro. Here the unfortunate Queen Giovanna d'Aragona lived and was later beheaded. The whole promontory is an enchanting mix of limestone cliffs, pine woods, rockery plants and wild flowers. The paths are well built and are probably unique in the district, in that they were probably built for leisure, unlike the older work-a-day routes. That is, unless they were built for executioners going about their business...
