Michele was a most engaging guide and regaled us with the history of the region, the activities of the smugglers and law enforcement. The hike was scenic, covering forested areas where the smugglers operated, across farms, a WW1 defensive position and down to the valleys where the fabulously wealthy had their villas. There were several steep portions during the hike but he kept an easy pace, provided enough time for rest and water for hydration. 10/10 will recommend.
