About this tour
Walk the legendary Path of the Gods with Alessandro, an Amalfi-born guide whose family roots run deep in these cliffs. Over three to five hours, you'll traverse the dramatic coastal ridgeline between Praiano and Positano, stopping for snacks whilst Alessandro unpacks centuries of local lore—shipwrecks, village feuds, forgotten settlements—woven into the landscape itself. This isn't a coach tour; it's a conversation with someone who learned these trails before he could read.

What to expect
Expect a steady uphill and downhill hike along a narrow, occasionally steep stone path. The route climbs above the coast, offering unobstructed views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the villages clinging to the cliffs below. Alessandro will stop frequently to explain the geography, point out abandoned hamlets, and discuss how locals have lived alongside these dramatic slopes for centuries. Sections are exposed; good footwear and a decent level of fitness are essential. The pace is conversational, not rushed, but you will be moving most of the time.
Good to know
Arrange your own transport to the starting point (public buses serve the area). Bring sun protection, a litre of water minimum, and sturdy hiking boots. Not suitable if you have back problems, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. The path is unshaded in places; morning starts are ideal.
