Forget about the crowded and overpriced beaches, leave the droves of tourists behind and take the time to hike up the Valle delle Ferriere. Especially in the summer it is also a very nice way to escape the heat, since most of the hike is under the trees. However getting to the later shady part ist quite difficult in the afternoon cause the beginning of the path is many many steps under the sun. Overall 45 to 60 min one way it is an easy hike / walk for some others, we met old ladies in flip flops who took a shower under the waterfalls but I recommend closed shoes and also long trousers cause the path is overgrown in some places. Starting from Amalfi and after you walk up the main road to the museum of the papermills follow the signs to the right, climb up many steps and after you pass in front of a tavern you start to get into the forest and follow the stream upstream. There are many small waterfalls formed and one or two big ones, you can find one or two small lagoons to bathe, if you can handle the icy water. The best thing in my opinion was the many ruined buildings on the way there, old paper and iron mills that used to be the backbone of the local industry. Poor donkeys that had to carry stuff up this path! The ruins are almost surreal, huge empty skeletons of stone buildings, some staircases and arches still standing, also ovens and other industrial components. Very eery in some places. I loved it, wouldn't like to be there alone in the evening though... From the far end you can climb higher and meet the main path that used to be the main connection to the other villages, still walkable. We didn't go so far as to reach the enclosed section that you have to pay to get access, there is the longest waterfall I presume from what was described to me, I think it is closer when coming down from Pontone. I recommend taking this hike and escaping the saturated coast for a couple of hours.

This place is absolutely wonderful. You can relax by the river, swim in the beautiful and clear water and have a snack/drink at the bar with the very friendly staff. You can also visit the nearby Grotta. We found this place through a recommendation and ended up spending most of our three days there. I am almost reluctant to recommend it here, because this really is a hidden treasure.

Located in the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni, the Alento River Oasis is inside a Community Importance Site of 3,024 hectares. An earth dam placed along the course of the Alento river, has created an artificial lake of about 1,7 square kilometers. Situated along the banks of the river, the Oasis includes several ponds(of high ecological value) which contribute to preserve the biodiversity through environmentally sustainable activities. The integrity of the natural habitat of the Oasis (Unesco World Heritage Site) is a special attraction for families, schools and sports lovers. Educational workshops, boat trips, bird watching, fishing, mountain biking, horse riding paths, archery, are just some of the various possibilities offered by the Oasis. The Oasis open spaces are ideal to enjoy the life in a natural environment, away from the smog and city chaos.
