Trentaremi

Trentaremi is a Naples-based outdoor tour company, with its office on Vico San Domenico Maggiore in the historic centre. It shares its name with the Trentaremi cove on the Posillipo coast, and its programme focuses on getting visitors out of the city and into the landscapes of Campania, on foot or by kayak, with a small team of local guides.

The hiking excursions cover some of the best-known walks in the region. The Crater of Vesuvius hike climbs to the rim of the volcano that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, with views over the whole bay. The Path of the Gods is the classic high-level walk above the Amalfi Coast, and the Lemon Path follows a route through the terraced citrus groves of the coast. Going with a guide takes care of logistics such as transport connections and explains the geology, history and farming of the landscapes you pass through.

On the water, the Wild Posillipo kayak tour runs for about two hours, typically from 10.30 to 12.30, from the Baia delle Rocce Verdi. The route passes Marechiaro, with its famous little window and Roman ruins, the Palazzo degli Spiriti, and the Gaiola, described as the smallest marine protected area in Italy, before entering the Trentaremi cove itself, with its yellow tufa caves and the remains of a villa associated with the age of Augustus. It is one of the most beautiful stretches of coast near the city and hard to see properly from land.

Details such as levels, group sizes and what to bring are not all listed online, so contact the company by email or phone before booking, especially for the hikes, which require reasonable fitness and good footwear. The kayak tour depends on sea conditions, and summer heat makes early starts sensible for the walks. Bring water, sun protection and a hat.

It suits active travellers, couples and families with older children who want to combine their city break with time outdoors. The company is registered as TRENTAREMI Srl. Its office is in the heart of the old town, a few steps from Piazza San Domenico Maggiore and Cappella Sansevero, and Dante and Università stations on metro Line 1 are about ten minutes' walk away; meeting points vary by excursion.
