Itinerary
Once a mule track, today it is a 6 km route that connects Agerola, a small town on the hills of the Amalfi Coast, to Nocelle, a hamlet in Positano, clinging to the slopes of Monte Pertuso.
The Path of the Gods is a long corridor between heaven and earth, sea and mountains. A road suspended in the air with incredible canyons and terraces overlooking the islands of Capri, Punta Penna, the archipelago of Li Galli, the Monti Lattari and Positano. A magical path that also charmed the ancient Greeks. According to mythology, in fact, the gods passed there to save Ulysses from the fearsome mermaids that were on the islets of Li Galli.
The incredible biodiversity of the place, the landscapes immersed in mythology and the breathtaking views make the Path of the Gods a unique trekking spot in the world.
