Perched high above the shimmering Mediterranean, the Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) stretches along the Amalfi Coast, daring hikers to step into a world where sea and sky blur at the horizon. Starting in Agerola Bomerano, this trail carves through rugged limestone cliffs adorned with stray olive trees and clusters of wildflowers that sway with the coastal breeze. The views don’t just open—they command your attention: dramatic drop-offs frame the glowing villages dotting the Gulf of Salerno, while behind you, the jagged silhouette of the Sorrento Peninsula pulls you inland.
