The “Path of the Gods” or “Sentiero degli Dei” in Italian, is the most famous hiking trail on the Amalfi Coast, deservedly named for its divine panoramas and exhilarating sense of serenity. Starting from the quaint town of Bomerano and stretching all the way to Positano, the trail hugs the high cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, offering unparalleled views of the sparkling azure sea, towering sun-drenched cliffs, and picturesque coastal villages. This approximately 7 kilometer-long path takes you through lush terraced vineyards, olive groves, and the untouched rugged beauty of the Mediterranean scrub, intermittently opening to spectacular vistas that make this trek an experience in itself.
Apart from natural beauty, the Path of Gods delivers a slice of local history. You will come across various old stone houses, quaint shepherd’s huts, and ancient terraced gardens along the way, offering glimpses of the traditional coastal life. Leaning over the coral rooftops of Positano and looking down on the boats bob in the turquoise sea below is an unforgettable end to this trek. For those who love nature and desire an exciting and incredibly scenic hike, the Path of the Gods on the Amalfi Coast is certainly hard to beat. Forested pathways, cliffside views, and the fresh, salty sea breeze make this a heavenly trail for every adventure lover.
