The Sentiero degli Dei stretches 7.8 kilometers along limestone cliffs 500 meters above the Tyrrhenian Sea, connecting the mountain hamlet of Bomerano in Agerola to the coastal village of Nocelle above Positano. The trail takes its name from Greek mythology: ancient sources suggest the gods walked this ridge when visiting mortal settlements below, and the panorama—unbroken views of Capri, Li Galli, and the Lattari range—lends the legend credibility. Shepherds and farmers used the path for centuries to move livestock and goods between the high pastures of the Monti Lattari and the fishing villages of the Amalfi Coast before modern roads were carved into the cliffs in the mid-20th century. Today the path of the gods hiking tour from sorrento draws hikers from across Europe and North America, particularly between April and October when weather is stable and the maquis scrubland blooms with rosemary, myrtle, and broom. The trail remains unpaved and unlit, maintained by local volunteers and the Ente Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari. In 2019 the regional park installed wooden directional posts at key junctions, but much of the route retains its original character: exposed rock, narrow switchbacks, and sections where the path narrows to less than a meter with sheer drops on one side. The most photographed segment lies between Colle Serra and the Grotta del Biscotto, where the trail rounds a promontory and Positano's pastel cascade appears directly below. The standard west-to-east route begins at Piazza Paolo Capasso in Bomerano, altitude 650 meters, and descends gradually through terraced vineyards and chestnut groves before opening onto the exposed cliffside traverse. Hikers pass the ruins of a 12th-century watchtower, the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Castello perched on a limestone outcrop, and a spring known as Fonte Ferriere that supplied water to Praiano until the 1960s. The final descent into Nocelle involves 1,500 stone steps—locals call them the Scalinata Nocelle—cut into the cliff face in the 18th century. From Nocelle, a local SITA bus or additional staircase connects to Positano's main harbor. Guided path of the gods hiking tour from sorrento options typically include round-trip minibus transfers from Sorrento hotels to the Bomerano trailhead, removing the logistical challenge of coordinating SITA bus schedules and limited parking. Some operators integrate a stop at a family-run caseificio in Agerola for tastings of fior di latte and provolone del monaco, a smoked cheese granted DOP status in 2010. The hike itself requires no technical climbing skill, but the exposed sections and uneven footing make sturdy boots and trekking poles advisable, particularly after rain when limestone becomes slick.
