The walk
From the bus stop in Ravello, walk through the town to the square at Torello, then down path 315B, old steps and lanes between terraces, to the sea at Minori and its basilica of Santa Trofimena. From Via Petrito in Minori, path 315C climbs by steps through the lemon terraces to the church of San Michele Arcangelo in the hamlet of Torre. The path then crosses the headland and drops through more lemon groves to Maiori.
It is 4.4 km one way with 127 m of ascent and 473 m of descent; allow about 2 hours. The grade is Easy: almost all steps and narrow lanes, more down than up.
The CAI grades both stretches as tourist paths: 315B from Torello to Minori is 1 km with 189 m of descent, and 315C from Minori to the hamlet of Torre is 1.4 km with 259 m of climb. There is drinking water at Torello. The lemon groves on these terraces are worked farms: keep to the path.
Buses and boats link Maiori with Amalfi for the return, and SITA buses run from Amalfi up to Ravello.
