Early-morning light carves the Amalfi cliffs into sheets of gold and shadow as a compact van eases out of Positano, air-conditioning whispering against the heat. You watch terraces and lemon groves slide by, the Tyrrhenian Sea daring you with a glittering promise below, while your English-speaking driver negotiates hairpins that look painted on the map. The drop-off is Bomerano—gateway to the Sentiero degli Dei—where the trail peels away from the road and the coast opens into long, cinematic views.
