What you can expect

  • Discover the Path of the Gods with a guide born and raised in Positano. This famous scenic route on the Amalfi Coast connects Nocelle, the highest hamlet of Positano, to Bomerano (Agerola) and offers some of the most spectacular views of the sea and mountains in Southern Italy.

    Along the hike, between myth and history, you'll hear the legend that the gods created this path to descend from Mount Olympus and save Odysseus from the Sirens of the Li Galli islands. But you will also discover its more tangible value: for centuries, it was one of the main thoroughfares of the Coast, long before the modern road that connects Sorrento to Vietri sul Mare.

    It won't just be a trekking trip: it will be an immersive experience to learn about rural life in the area. Whenever possible, you will meet local farmers and ranchers, discover authentic products and traditions that are still alive, and talk about flora and fauna, wild herbs used in cooking and in traditional herbal medicine, and the customs that have shaped the daily life of coastal communities.

    The tour starts from Nocelle, with a meeting point at the village car park, and offers two options. The Circular Route is more challenging and includes the “high route” for even more sweeping views, before returning to Nocelle along the main trail. The Shepherd Visit Option is shorter and includes a stop at a local shepherd's farm, with the opportunity to taste artisan products and learn about an ancient tradition. For those who wish, the tour can be customized according to interests and needs.
