Dawn finds the ridge awake before the towns below — the first light strips the sea into silver and the air smells of thyme and warm stone. On the crest of the Lattari range the Path of the Gods unfurls: a narrow strip of trail etched along limestone cliffs with the Tyrrhenian Sea yawning to the south. The private tour drops you at Bomerano; a few steps in and the coast begins to act like a magnet, pulling your attention between terraces of vines, lemon trees clinging to ancient walls, and the distant silhouette of Capri.

Adventure Tips
Start early
Begin at first light to avoid midday crowds and heat—morning light also gives the best sea-to-island views.
Wear grippy footwear
Stony steps and loose scree make sturdy hiking shoes or approach shoes essential for traction on descents.
Hydrate and refill
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters; the tour provides bottled water but refill in villages if possible to reduce plastic waste.
Plan your return
This private tour can pick you up in Positano; confirm pickup details with your driver or book a ferry if you plan to continue along the coast.
