Itinerary
Hike along Italy's most beautiful coastal trail, in the heart of the Mediterranean vegetation and surrounded by vertical cliffs and spectacular views over Positano, Praiano and Capri. We will meet in the square, full of nice cafes and local deli shops. It won't take long for you to figure out why this is called the path of the Gods: incredible vertical sceneries with grapes and lemon trees will give you the feeling of being suspended between sky and sea. We will stop along the way, and I will tell you countless stories about our culture, our lifestyle, and the local history of the villages, as well as the myths related to the trail. After a couple of hours of walk, ups and downs along the rocky trail that stretches between limestone cliffs, we will finally head towards the hamlet of Nocelle. From there you can decide to head down to Positano by either taking a local bus that runs every hour, or walking down the 1800 stairs to the center of town. Upon request, picnic can be added.
Positano will be admired from the path, and eventually explored after a long stairway down of 1800 stairs

I’ve been to the Amalfi Coast three times now. But this third visit felt completely different. For the first time, I truly understood the greatness of that land — the depth of its history, its beauty, its soul, and why it has inspired artists, writers, and travelers for centuries. And honestly, it happened because, almost by chance, we found the most extraordinary and inspiring tour guide: Alessandro. He didn’t simply show us places; he brought the Amalfi Coast to life. Through his stories, passion, and knowledge, every village, every road, every cliff, and every church suddenly carried meaning. He transformed a beautiful trip into an unforgettable experience.
Ale provided an INCREDIBLE tour along the Path of the Gods for my retreat group. We were a group of 8 women, aging from 30s-50s and all of us had an amazing time. It was incredible value for money learning from a passionate local, tasting delicious fresh herbs on the pathway, discovering the beautiful nature and being with someone so genuinely connected with the land. The walk was strenuous but with plenty of stops and time to sit and listen. I loved learning about the Sirens, womens rights and mermaid culture 🧜♀️ we had such a fantastic time thank you Ale!
We had an amazing experience with our guide, Alessandro. He was incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the history, but also the culture, geography, and even local mythology—which made everything so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how engaging and energetic he was. He connected effortlessly with everyone in our group, ranging from ages 12 to 50, and kept us all interested throughout. He even got us raincoats in case there is rain, but fortunately everything cleared up A fantastic communicator and truly passionate about what he does—we enjoyed every moment. If we ever return, we will definitely ask for Alessandro again!
The beauty of the Path of the Gods-Sentiero degli Dei-is indescribable and I was so lucky to have Alessandro as my guide! A native of this spectacular region, he is incredibly knowledgeable and filled our hike with information about the towns we were walking through, the history of the region and stories of local myths and legends. The hike is not easy and there are places with loose rocks and steep cliffs. Never once did I feel unsafe as Alessandro knew every step of the way. His love for the area comes through clearly as he kindly helped any hiker who needed assistance along the way and picked up any trash his saw as well. You could do this hike by yourself by why would you when you could also learn so much and experience a deeper appreciation of this ancient trail. I'm looking forward to visiting Amalfi again and using Alessandro on another hike!

I am really looking forward to welcome you again soon on the Amalfi Coast. Alessandro
Our hike with Alessandro was hands down the highlight of our trip to Italy. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and full of energy. He brought the stunning trails of the Amalfi Coast to life with his deep insights into the local history, nature, and culture—and made the whole experience both fun and meaningful. Whether you’re an avid hiker or simply looking to experience the natural beauty of the region in a unique and authentic way, I cannot recommend this enough. Alessandro’s passion for what he does is contagious, and his guidance made the hike truly unforgettable. This is a must-do for anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. Don’t miss the chance to explore it with Alessandro!
