Path of the Gods (Amalfi Coast)

The Path of the Gods, or Sentiero degli Dei, is one of Italy most stunning hiking experiences offering panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast. This legendary trail stretches along cliffs high above the Tyrrhenian Sea, connecting Bomerano in Agerola to Nocelle in Positano. Named for its mythological allure, it is said to be the path once walked by the gods themselves. Hikers are rewarded with incredible vistas of jagged cliffs, vibrant Mediterranean waters, and picturesque villages perched along the coastline. The combination of natural beauty and dramatic scenery makes this trail a bucket list hike for lovers of adventure and photography.

The trail is rated moderate in technical difficulty, requiring confidence with heights. Much of the path runs along exposed cliff sections without guardrails, offering thrilling but vertiginous drops, so it is not suitable for those with vertigo. The hike is approximately nine kilometers long, with a total elevation gain of one hundred forty meters and a descent of six hundred forty meters. The trail should be accessed from Naples, so planning to arrive the evening before is recommended. Participants are advised to contact the organizers ahead of time for logistical support. This iconic hike is perfect for those who enjoy challenging trails, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable experiences along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
