Coastal Walks in Europe Reviews
Walking the Amalfi Coast was a Surprise packed trip. Our tour leader Satva, is an absolute treasure to Exodus. Patient, rich with knowledge, great English, extremely generous with her time. This tour simply gets better and better with every corner you turn, and the locals are delightful. Excellent pick to base in Bomerano as it is lovely and quite with amazing food, friendly locals and cheap local buses to neighbouring towns. Hotel due torri in Agerola, I couldn't fault, it ticked all my boxes, fresh Mediterranean fruits, eggs, amazing crusty soft bread, lunches choice of gluten free also, the best Italian cheese, meats, antipasto and 4 course meals every evening. Best cocktails 25 euro for 7 vouchers and I'll leave the wine at dinner a surprise for you. The elegance of the decor really sets a mood. The waitstaff are true Italian gentleman, the rooms are spotless, including whitest sheets and towels. The breakfast team, so attentive and helpful. Chef and cooks have passion on there faces, always, and to be allowed into a kitchen, you know it's good. The owner, brother and son ooze passion and professionalism. This was for me a once in a lifetime walking trip with my mother that has enriched our lives. Thank you all so very much , Bravo!!!!!

Our guide Matteo Giordano was excellent. He made sure each day was interesting and his knowledge of the area is fantastic. Our accommodation with Luna d’Agerola was perfect. The food was hearty and good. The rooms were clean. It was such a nice change from the busyness of the towns on the Amalfi coast.

What our customers ask about Coastal Walks in Europe
When is the best time to go on a coastal walking tour in Europe?
The prime season for European coastal walks runs from April to October though each region has its sweet spot. Along the Amalfi Coast the most pleasant walking comes in May June and September October when the weather is gentle and tourist numbers drop. The Lycian Way in Turkey shows its best colors in spring from March to May. A TourRadar traveler confirms "the wildflowers and views were spectacular." For northern spots like Ireland's coastal routes summer (June-August) brings reliable weather and extended daylight hours for walking.
What are the must-see highlights of European coastal walks?
The coastal paths of Europe present remarkable sights including Italy's Path of the Gods along the Amalfi Coast Lanzarote's Famara Cliffs which tower 500 meters above sea level and the ancient passages of Turkey's Lycian Way. TourRadar travelers often mention "The Gobbins Cliff Path in Northern Ireland with its dramatic bridges and tunnels" and "the beautiful bays of the Amalfi coast." These routes connect natural wonders with cultural landmarks from ancient ruins to fishing villages and historic lighthouses.
What type of accommodation can I expect on European coastal walking tours?
Lodging options range from local family hotels to village guesthouses along the coast. The Hotel Risorgimento in San Lazzaro features terraces with sweeping views of the Amalfi Coast while Montenegro Motel on Turkey's Lycian Way offers home-grown food and looks out over Butterfly Valley. A TourRadar guest noted "the staff treated us like family and the food was wonderful after a long day walking."
How many hours of walking should I expect per day?
Walking times generally span 4-6 hours covering distances of 8-14 kilometers each day. The Amalfi Coast routes average 5 hours while Madeira's paths take 4-5.5 hours to complete. According to a TourRadar participant: "We walked about 10-12km each day with plenty of stops for photos and rest breaks making it very manageable even with challenging sections."
What's included in coastal walking tour packages?
Standard packages cover accommodation daily breakfast route materials luggage transfers between stops and emergency assistance. Amalfi Coast tours often include "7 nights accommodation all breakfasts 4 packed lunches and detailed walking notes." Lycian Way tours may add "local guides entrance fees to historical sites and boat trips to hidden coves." Airport transfers are available but might cost extra.
