The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) is a spectacular hiking trail along the Amalfi Coast, offering panoramic views of the sea, cliffs, and villages below. Stretching from Bomerano to Nocelle above Positano, the 7-kilometer trail winds through terraced hillsides, wildflowers, and ancient stone paths. It’s a moderately challenging walk, with a lot of steps, that rewards hikers with breathtaking scenery and a unique perspective on the coastline’s natural beauty and rural life.
Most trips to Amalfi are done by boat, commonly people use Naples as a transit point, but you can also take ferries from Capri, Salerno and Paestum during the summer months.
