Walk along chariot-marked streets where a bustling city once nestled under the shadow of Vesuvius until the fatal eruption in 79AD. Transfer to Agerola with marvellous views along the Amalfi Coast (3 hrs).

Return down into the shaded Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Watermills) where the remnants of Europe’s most ancient paper mills, dating back to the 11th Century, lie strewn as ghostly ruins amidst thick foliage, fed by the waters of the valley's crystal clear streams. Expect to pass locals going about their business: collecting wild mushrooms; stoutly built men carrying half their own body weight in lemons atop their heads - destined to become the famous local liquor Limoncello; and friendly herdsmen tending their animals. The path leads to the entrance of the nature reserve ‘Valle delle Ferriere’ after which you enter Amalfi, passing the fascinating paper museum - the Museo della Carta (4 hrs)
