The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) is the finest hiking trail on the Amalfi Coast, running for about 7.8 km along a high limestone ridge between Agerola and Nocelle (above Positano) at altitudes of 400–600 metres. The views are extraordinary — straight down to the sea on one side and back into the mountains on the other — and the path traverses a landscape of terraced vegetable gardens, cistus scrub, and limestone outcrops that bears no resemblance to the resort coast below.
The trail is one-way by convention (west to east, from Bomerano in Agerola to Nocelle), taking 3–4 hours. From Nocelle, a steep staircase descends to Positano in about 45 minutes. You can reach Bomerano by SITA bus from Amalfi or Positano; it is an hour's drive up the mountain. The path is well-marked and not technical, but requires appropriate footwear and water — there are no facilities on the route itself.
