Travelers

You step off the minivan into a wash of salt air and sun-dried stone; behind you the Mediterranean flickers like a held breath, ahead a narrow ribbon of trail winds along a cliff edge where the land drops away in vertiginous terraces. This is the Path of the Gods—the Sentiero degli Dei—where shepherd tracks become a high coastal promenade and every bend offers a new frame of sea and village.
