Torre dello Ziro

3-2-1 Review 🚶‍♂️3 Things to Know: *The walk from Veliero del Belvedere is much farther than it looks on the map *The route continues uphill and can be tiring after already walking a lot *Signage and distance can be a bit misleading for first-time visitors 🧭2 Observations: *We decided to turn back rather than continue in the wrong direction *Best to plan transport or allow extra time and energy if attempting this walk 💡1 Tip: *Check walking distance carefully and consider transport if you’ve already done a long sightseeing day 😃Personal Experience: After visiting Veliero del Belvedere, we started heading toward Torre dello Ziro but quickly realized the distance was much longer than expected. We chose to head back instead of pushing on in the wrong direction. Still a beautiful area — just better planned next time. ❣️Show some love If this review helped you, please like it and follow me on Google Maps.

The highlight of my Amalfi trip Great views on the way up to the point. Tough climb up because of the never ending stairs but it’s fairly easy on the way down. My calves are still burning! Screenshot the map I used from another commenter, Google Maps is wrong.

So about google maps - yes, don't follow it. I'm putting a screenshot of komoot, a hiking app, leading to a great view up there, from which you can follow the signs and get to Torre. Once you're out of the city and on the stairs - follow the white-red markings and the road. It's an easy hike, but tiresome for there are a LOT of stairs. Still need to be in a good condition. As for the torre itself, I can't recommend going up. I did, yes, but stepped very carefully. I don't think this door is supposed to be open. The place needs some tightening, it seems it will collapse any second. The views are great even without going up the tower. I also recommend Belvedere, the view is even better, as it's higher. Visited in March, very pleasant. Not sure if google will keep them chronological in order though, but I hope you'll get some idea. Happy exploring!

As already mentioned by other's, do not follow Google maps for directions as it will take you to a completely different site. Love to go to the Torre dello Ziro, I grew up in the area and tend to walk up to it at every visit to Amalfi. I walk from Amalfi side, up to Pontone, with an obligatory stop to the little town square bar for an espresso, just a tradition, than off to the Torre, I like to go to the ruderi first, than swing by the belvedere with an amazing panoramic view of the Amalfi coast and the Torre from high above it, and finally continue to the Torre. Again the views are amazing, you can enter the Torre and go to the top where there is a small platform to view Amalfi in full glory. On the way back, I descended via Atrani to add even more beauty to the walk. Be prepared to loads of steps, but well worth the awesome views.

I really enjoyed this walk up to the medieval tower that stands over Amalfi and can be seen above the monastery from the harbour. I saw the warnings about following Google maps and opted to use trail router to find the way up. The trail started on the right hand side of the road a short way after you go under the bridge if you follow the main road up through Amalfi from the harbour area. A path opposite a statue of a monk near enough. There are a lot of stairs but the walk was very enjoyable and going early on the morning we had the tower all to ourselves. Great views over Ravello, Amalfi and Atrani. Doing all the stairs on the way down gave me very stiff calves the next day but was totally worth it!
