Walks from Bomerano in Agerola
I have been trying to do these walk for four years, having booked in 2019, but COVID and health prevented this and the New Zealand companion I had booked with became too nervous about the potential fallout from Putin, so I rebooked to go by myself in May 2024.

After a pleasant flight from London Gatwick to Naples with EasyJet I was caught up in chaos at Naples Airport and took an hour to clear Passport Control, by which time my transport to the Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano had left. I phoned the hotel and a taxi was dispatched for me.
What immediately struck me was how much Mt Vesuvius dominates the skyline of both Naples and Salerno. As I learned on my visit to Vesuvius, there was once just one peak, but due to the eruptions a second peak has formed. Upon arrival at the hotel I was greeted by my group leader and the hotel pool was very inviting.

An evening tour of Bomerano
After unpacking we met Teresa for a tour of Bomerano. It is easy to see why Bomerano is such a good location for embarking on a number of walks as it well located for both ascending up a mountain and descending down to the coast. One needs to be sufficiently fit and have good knees. The light on this evening walk was truly beautiful and afforded great views from the various view points.
After the briefing and walk we returned for dinner in the elegant dining room of Hotel Due Torri
