Area Info
Located in Italy's last undiscovered, unspoiled area - literally stunning -  Coast of Maratea & The Cilento National Park. 

Traveler Magazine says "Maratea is Heaven - It's The Amalfi Without The Crowds.... Italy's Best Kept Secret".

 It is just to the south of the Amalfi coast; however, much easier, cheaper, and faster to get to - excellent high-speed road and rail service from Naples  (many airlines) and Lamezia Terme (Ryan Air & Alitalia).


Overview
Lovers Walk (Sentiero degli Innamorati ) -  is the only venue right on the sea in Italy, where you can have a fully legal wedding  (or symbolic or religious). It is our most popular elopement venue. It is our least expensive; yet, one of our most beautiful locations for small weddings  - famous for its legend of the Lovers and the Mermaid. Lovers Walk begins the incomparable Coast of Maratea - Italy's Last Hideaway.  

Optional romantic way to get to Lover's Walk are:
  • basic beach boat(s) from the promenade beach in the town of Sapri (up to 2 boats each holding up to 20).  See info about boat under "Optional Ceremony Fees"  on this page.  Note:  the boat owner typically will also include a brief trip along the stunning coast of Maratea.  
  • A sail boat (holds up to 18) from Maratea -  includes a trip along the Coast of Maratea - Italy's Last Hideaway,   

The Legend
Italy is famous for its rivalries - Romeo & Juliet the most famous. The towns of Sapri & Maratea were no exceptions. The Legend of Lovers Walk has it that the young were warned not to "cohort" with others from the rival town. Centuries ago, goes the legend, a young couple, determined to be together forever, met in the path connecting Sapri & Maratea - one of the most beautiful lovers' walk on earth - Traveler Magazine says "Maratea is Heaven - It's The Amalfi Without The Crowds.... Italy's Best Kept Secret". The path meanders through fields of wild flowers and jagged rocks, edged by a blue sea and soaring mountains, etched with ancient Saracen Towers and towering cypress trees. They padlocked themselves to an old iron frame cast from the sea by a violent storm; and, defying elders, family, and jealous friends threw the key far into the sea. To ensure the key would never be found, a beautiful mermaid plucked it from the sea, and lies guard over it, even today, on the nearby Isola dello Scialandro - see deserted mermaid island.

In 2015,  the mayor of Sapri revived the legend. At the end of the ceremony on Lovers Walk, he had Danny & Kristin connect forever a padlock to a bench at waters wedge, and throw the key far into the sea - and watch, hopefully, the mermaid will deliver it back to her deserted island.  The mayor and the mermaid hope this padlock and key will not only ensure lasting love; but, will always be there to connect couples, their hearts and souls to the incomparable Sapri and The Coast of Maratea (now quite harmonious) - and the legendary Lovers Walk.

Ensure an undying love! Continue the legend! And, have that relaxed and memorable wedding with the keys, the padlock & the mermaid.

 Update:
  •  In 2015, the town installed a metal tree sculpture for couples to attach their engraved padlocks "in perpetuity". Blair and Victor of Charleston, SC were the first couple to attach their "undying love" padlock.
  • In 2016, the town council gave Lovers Walk an official street name  -  "Lovers Walk" with its  own street name plate. 


Plan B (in the event of rain)  -  Ceremony will be in town-hall.
