You step out of Agerola’s stone square and the trail immediately climbs, the sea dropping away to the left like a painted sheet of blue. Holm oaks and low maquis lean into the wind; the old mule track underfoot alternates loose scree and compact limestone, and every bend opens a new postcard view of Positano clinging to the cliffs below.

You step out of Agerola’s stone square and the trail immediately climbs, the sea dropping away to the left like a painted sheet of blue. Holm oaks and low maquis lean into the wind; the old mule track underfoot alternates loose scree and compact limestone, and every bend opens a new postcard view of Positano clinging to the cliffs below.
This footpath—Sentiero degli Dei—follows routes used for centuries by farmers and shepherds, carved into the Lattari Mountains where limestone shelves formed by ancient seabeds tilt toward the Tyrrhenian. Agricultural terraces and dry-stone walls tell the story of a stubborn coastline where lemon groves and olive trees shaped local life. The culture here is slow and practical: meals timed around work, villages perched for defense and sun.
Expect a 3–4 hour walk on singletrack with some exposed sections and short steep pitches; the route favors endurance over technical rock skills. Bring layers for coastal wind and start early to avoid midday heat and crowds. Water is limited on the trail—plan for at least 1.5–2 liters per person in summer—and wear sturdy shoes with good grip for the limestone and loose scree.
Along the way, pause at Nocelle for a view that frames Positano like a living postcard, and respect the terraces: stay on the trail, pack out trash, and keep noise low to preserve birdlife. With proper preparation this guided walk delivers the Amalfi Coast’s dramatic geology, centuries of human labor, and those wide, sea-born views that make the route famous.
moderate.
3–4 hours.
Moderate endurance required—able to walk uneven terrain for several hours and handle short steep sections.
The meeting point is the fountain in the main square of Agerola, adjacent to the bus stop—check local directions from your booking confirmation.
Expect moderate exertion: 3–4 hours with some steep ascents/descents and exposed sections; it suits hikers with basic endurance.
No—trainers with minimal grip can be risky on loose limestone; closed-toe hiking shoes with good tread are recommended.
Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure; trips may be canceled for poor weather or insufficient participants.
The trail follows ancient mule tracks and routes used by farmers who built dry-stone terraces to cultivate lemons, olives and grapes on steep slopes.
Erosion and heavy foot traffic strain terraces and paths; stick to marked trails, avoid trampling vegetation and take all waste with you.
