The Amalfi Coast is a stunning stretch of coastline in southern Italy, known for its dramatic cliffs, picturesque villages, and crystal-clear waters. One of the best ways to experience the Amalfi Coast is to walk along the Sentiero degli Dei, or Path of the Gods, a breathtaking trail that offers panoramic views of the coastline.

Planning Your Walk

The Sentiero degli Dei is a well-maintained trail, but it is important to be prepared for a challenging hike. The trail is approximately 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) long, and it takes about 4-5 hours to complete. The trail is mostly uphill, so you will need to be in good physical condition. You should also wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and bring plenty of water and snacks.

The best time to walk the Sentiero degli Dei is during the spring or fall, when the weather is mild. However, the trail is open year-round, so you can hike it anytime you like. If you are hiking during the summer, be sure to start early in the morning to avoid the heat.

The Path of the Gods

The Sentiero degli Dei begins in the town of Bomerano, which is located about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Amalfi. The trail follows a steep path up the side of the mountain, offering stunning views of the coastline below. As you climb, you will pass through a variety of landscapes, including forests, olive groves, and vineyards.

The trail reaches its highest point at the Monte Tre Calli, which is 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) above sea level. From the summit, you will have panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast, including the towns of Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello. You can also see the island of Capri in the distance.

The trail continues down the other side of the mountain, passing through the town of Nocelle. From Nocelle, you can either take a bus back to Amalfi or continue walking along the coastline to Positano.
