The 5 most beautiful sea treks in Italy

Sea Treks in Italy 1

by Alessia Morello

Autumn in Italy has arrived and fortunately it is the perfect season for trekking along the sea paths.

The temperature in these months is mild and the winter wind has not yet risen.

In addition, the incredible phenomenon of foliage has begun, which in contrast to the crystalline waters of our sea will make your trail an unforgettable experience.

Many people think that the sea in Italy is only sand and beach although in reality this is not so. Our coasts are covered with mostly of reefs and rocks that become hills and mountains where harrowing treks exist with breathtaking views.

Here are the 5 most beautiful sea treks in Italy:

 

  1. Contents

    Rilke Trail – Friuli Venezia Giulia – North East Italy

Sea Treks in Italy 2

 

This is one of the most fascinating trails in the northeast.

This 2-hour path connects Duino to Sistiana and is totally built on the Adriatic Seashore.

This trail is close to a very important location: Trieste, a city that rises on the border of Italy and Slovenia and therefore a neuralgic spot during the Middle Ages and the big wars.

This trail reveals so much past history. You finish the trail in a real 1400’s castle still inhabited from the real descendants that founded the castle built on the sheer cliff that faces the blue sea. You can visit the castle and the anti-war refuge, now a museum and enjoy the panorama from the garden that overlooks the sea. Amazing!

 

  1. Trail ring through Camogli Portofino – Liguria – North-West Italy

Sea Treks in Italy 3

 

This incredible 5 hours trek passes through antique forgotten villages built in small gulfs with no car access.

In the past, it was normal to stay in places like this, live just fishing and taking the boat to make trades.

Portofino is also so famous for the incredible architecture that the city has. This city is completely built near the sea and every building has a different color and shade. Stunning and incredible to see.

Liguria is a little region consisting of mountains that reach the sea and the inhabitants have been forced to build homes one above the other. For this reason, it is very famous and popular for tourists and a beautiful place to go trekking.

 

  1. Positano Trail – Sentiero degli Dei – Campania – South West Italy

The “Path of the Gods” connects Agerola, a small village on the hills of the Amalfi Coast, to Nocelle, a small hamlet of Positano, lying on the slopes of Mount Pertuso.

Just the name alone lets you guess how spectacular this trail is! It is one of the most popular sea treks in Italy.

The front of the panorama of the Amalfi Coast and Capri is like a 60’s movie that comes to life. Even for an Italian to holiday here is an ambitious goal. Anyway we are talking about trails and this one I’m quite sure that is one of the most breathtaking trails of Italy!

Always sunny and famous for the incredible quality of food, this region is perfect for a trekking and food adventure! Bring a slice of pizza with you (like I usually DO – have a look my video eating pizza at 2000 meters in the middle of the Dolomites here ) and enjoy your trail up and down from the beauties of south Italy. Ready?

 

  1. Il percorso delle Ginestre – Abruzzo – South East Italy

I was on holidays here something like 5 years ago and I’m still thinking about this magical place. It’s not so famous overseas but Abruzzo has thousands of kilometres of national park that border the sea and is full of trekking trails.

The Itinerary allows you to cross the beautiful Regional Nature Reserve Punta Aderci where the earth meets the sea and the green of nature ’embraces’ the blue of crystal clear waters.

Another amazing thing you can see during a trek here are the “Trabucchi”. Trabucchi are the old fisherman’s houses built totally out of wood, erected on the sea, like palafitte. Now they are real summer houses or very cool restaurants. My advice is to stop your trail here and have a clams spaghetti and a main course with fresh local fish!

Not a real outdoor break? Hey, you are in Italy!

 

  1. Excursion to the Zingaro Natural Reserve – Sicily – Island in the South of Italy

bigstock Mediterranean Sea Riserva Dell 5414074

 

One hour west of Palermo there are numerous wonderful promontories leading to incredible wild coves: this is the Zingaro Reserve. The first natural reserve of Sicily since 1986 is one of the most beautiful places to discover on foot. Starting from Scopello for a 5-hour trip, which lasts 15 kilometres.

Here you will find 700 species of plants and 40 species of animals and a small museum about the traditional life of the island.

The sunrise is the best part of the day, looking the sun coming up from the horizon is something magic.

 

Hope you enjoyed the best Sea treks in Italy!

    It would be really beautiful to trek along the sea paths of Italy in Autumn. I would love to take the stunning Positano Trail – Sentiero degli Dei – Campania – South West Italy. The “Path of the Gods” connecting Agerola, to Nocelle, really deserves this name. Portofino really has incredible architecture.

    Wow, wow, wow. That’s really all I can say. For the longest time I hadn’t had any interest in visiting Italy (which is weird since I have family ancestry from there). But it’s posts and pictures like this have completely changed my mind. It’s move from never on the list, to easily my top 10 destinations.

    Its been my dream to visit Amalfi Coast and explore the area . The Positano Trail is high on my bucket list. I loved the colorful villages and those ancient and finishing villages around the gorgeous seaside. I can’t wait to do that. Thank you so much for this great list of sea treks.

    Love this post!!! Italy is my favorite of all time and I’m currently planning a Europe trip in 2 weeks and have been debating where to go. This reminds me that I’ve wanted to check out Portofino 🙂 And I am always looking for hikes to do while traveling, so it makes me want to visit even more! Thanks for sharing. Going to pin it for later, too.

    I have been hiking all over the world but I have never went on a hike in Italy! The five paths you have recommended sound incredible, especially the one through Liguria. I have always wanted to see Camogli and Portofino… maybe I should start planning my next adventure!

    I love hiking and Italy, so these routes are something I would do. Even though I have been to most of these places before I have not hiked them. I especially like the Trail ring through Camogli Portofino and the Il percorso delle Ginestre – Abruzzo – South East Italy that both look like stunning views. My only problem would be wanting to stop and take photos all the time.

    This is such a wonderful post with so many beautiful sea trek options in Italy. I went to Italy a couple of years back but unfortunately couldn’t do any sea treks then, hopefully, I’ll get to go again and then maybe I could try some of these. My favorite from your list is the Positano trail. Thanks for sharing this, I’m saving it for future. 🙂

    I didn’t realize there were so many great places to hike in Italy. While I know that I hear about all of the great cities and all of the great beautiful places, hiking trails are not something I usually hear about. I will have to remember this when I finally make my trek out there.

      Italy is not a flat Land so from the mountains (Alps, Dolomites) to the sea you can find amazing paths for families and pro. Hope one day you decide to bring your daughter in Italy and visit our beautiful land. Kiss kiss

    Omg! I am SOOOOO in-love! What a beautiful post of sea treks in Italy – totally saving this for my trip to Italy. The coast line of Italy looks incredibly beautiful, especially the “Path of the Gods” trail! The Amalfi Coast is so high on my list and I can’t wait to experience it. Also ending a tour with a real life 1400’s castle sounds so amazing – and how cool that the descendants of the castle still live there. I am totally day dreaming now!

      Yeah in Italy there are a lot of “forgotten” villages around because they have no access by car. They live just with the people that love trekking and share the experience. There’s one in my northeast in the middle of the mountains as well. I will send you the link!
