The Path of the Gods is one of the most iconic and spectacular treks on the Amalfi Coast. Its legendary reputation stems not only from the breathtaking views but also from the pristine natural beauty along the way. This trail connects Bomerano, a scenic hamlet of Agerola, with Nocelle, a small village perched high above Positano, offering unique views of the sea, cliffs, and islands on the horizon.

The standard route is approximately 7–8 km long and can take about 3–4 hours of walking, including scenic stops and photo breaks. The trail is rated as moderate difficulty, suitable for those with basic fitness who enjoy hiking and want to experience nature. Some sections are slightly exposed with stunning sea views, so it’s important to wear proper footwear, bring water, and use sun protection.
