The Path of the Gods (or Sentiero degli Dei in Italian) is a clifftop trail above the Amalfi Coast. The main section of the hike is 6.5 km (4 miles) between the small villages of Bomerano (in Agerola) and Nocelle (above Positano). There are beautiful views of the sea and coastal towns below along the way.
The Path of the Gods in recent years has become famous thanks to its sky-line among the most evocative and famous in the world that crosses the Amalfi coast rich in Mediterranean scrub where the vines act as prodrona and grows along the ridge of the Lattari mountains that plunge into the blue sea of the coast from which it is possible to see the island of Capri.
The name with which this nature trail is called derives from historical facts and legends according to which the Greek gods passed right here to save Ulysses from the sirens that were on de Li Galli, also the writer Italo Calvino, that road suspended over the magical gulf of the "Sirens" still furrowed today by memory and myth ", the same sentence can also be read on ceramic tiles located at the very beginning of the Path of the Gods.
The beauty of this path also lies in the absolute lack of man's hand, the whole path is as mother nature conceived and subsequently shaped it over the centuries, the hand of man can only be appreciated for the presence of protective barriers (in some points) and the presence of excellent signage along the route..
