You step onto a narrow ledge of limestone and the Amalfi Sea unfurls below like a moving skin of blue, daring you to keep walking. Wind from the Tyrrhenian tugs at your hat, rosemary scents the air, and a shepherd's bells call from a terrace far above the water.

The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) runs along the spine of the Monti Lattari, carved where limestone ridges meet sea cliffs. Historically the stairways and mule tracks linked isolated farms and coastal villages; until 1980 Nocelle was reachable only by a 1,237-step staircase from Positano. Geology here is steep limestone and compacted scree, with terraces cut for grazing that shaped the local culture of shepherding and cheesemaking—the “Milky Mountains” named for the dairy they supported.
A local guide will point out carob, wild rosemary and blueberry bushes, and introduce the Neapolitan goats still tended on these slopes. Villages like Praiano and Positano sit like small plates on the horizon, while the trail alternates shaded Mediterranean maquis, dry stone walls, and exposed viewpoints.
Practical notes: the main route between Bomerano (Agerola) and Nocelle is a 3–4 hour hike (one way loop options exist), covering roughly 6–8 km with several hundred meters of cumulative ascent/descent on uneven, sometimes steep stone steps. Wear sturdy shoes, carry 1–2 liters of water, and start early in summer for cooler air and softer light. Transfers from Sorrento simplify logistics and let you focus on the trail and the views rather than parking and navigation.

The trail connected highland hamlets and coastal villages for centuries; Nocelle remained cut off by footpaths and stairs until modern roads were built after 1980.
The Monti Lattari area is sensitive to erosion and visitor pressure—stick to the marked path, avoid trampling terraces, and carry out any waste to minimize impact.
