You can search the far corners of the globe, but you’ll never find a more perfectly named hiking adventure than “The Path of the Gods.” Situated along Italy’s scenic Amalfi coast, the half-day climb delivers the inspiring views and breathtaking beauty its dramatic name suggests.
Half-way up the mountain trail you can admire one of the most spectacular panoramas in the world––an incredible overview from Cilento to the Island of Capri––and you will indeed feel closer to the sky than to the sea … which, according to locals, is exactly why Giutstino Fortunato named the path as he did. - Toni Capecchi Star Tribune

| This is an all day a fair, We live an hour and a half from the trail head, and you need to take a bus back to the top after your hike. It is a 4-5 hour hike, and there are many steep slopes and narrow pathways. We were sore the next day, but cant wait to do it again. Spring and fall are the best times of the year to do this hike. |
Fortunato named the path in the mid 1800s, which was only yesterday compared to the rich mythological history that “The Path of the Gods” overlooks. Most any point along the path offers a tremendous view of Capri, once home to the fabled singing sirens
who called to sailors in Homer’s The Odyssey.
