The 4.8-mile (7.7-kilometer) Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) connects two tiny villages in the hills above the Amalfi Coast: Agerola (above Praiano) and Nocelle (above Positano). The trail winds along the coastline, with about a 1,640-foot (500-meter) drop to the sea. To hike, you can start at either end, but it's advised to leave from Agerola and take the downhill route to Nocelle, from where you can descend some 1,500 steps into Positano.
If you don't want to take local buses to and from the trail and find the trailhead on your own, opt for a guided private or small-group hikes of the Path of the Gods. These usually include round-trip transportation from the nearby towns along the coastline or Sorrento. Some guided hikes also include a stop for lunch at a countryside restaurant or a rock climbing experience on the coastal cliffs.
