Tour of Agerola by bike
To get away from the heat and traffic of the main Amalfi Coast road, this ride towards our beautiful mountains is the best way to still enjoy the sea view, while exploring a less known, but not less beautiful, side of the area. The ride starts with a long, but not too steep climb, which may not be for anyone on a regular bike, so consider choosing a pedal assisted e-bike unless you're up for some challenge! Once in Agerola, a wide rural town overlooking the coast, there's a lot to taste and explore, and on a full day ride we can take our time there, before starting the exciting descent back to Amalfi.
