Some of the very best hiking I've ever done....
We began our 5 day adventure in the very pretty town of Cava de Tirreni. From there our guide brought us to the 11th century Benedictine Abbey. My goodness, what a gem! I have visted many religious buildings but this one has to be seen to be believed. Incredible! . The Amalfi coast does not disappoint. Everyday we hiked was different. Beautiful scenery in all directions. Pretty villages and towns. Delicious food snd warm welcomes. I loved it. I will say though, the 1st day at the Abbey, cloisers, catacombs and museum was my favourite. What a privilige it was to see and learn about it's long history.
Response from the operator: Thank you Lisa, our first day was really amazing. The hike to Mount Avvocata is really really great and I hope more people will have the privilege to see what's on that day, between the Abbey and the scenery. Grazie for your visit. Arrivederci

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salerno.
How much does Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salerno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salerno is not rushed.
Is Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salerno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salerno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salerno and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast Hike to Avvocata Monastery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salerno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salerno?
+
On Outty we rank every Salerno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Amalfi Coast Experience from Sorrento, Naples or Salerno, Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Positano, Amalfi Coast Boat tour Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salerno?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salerno?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
