It'd be accurate to say that the only thing I actually had on my Amalfi Coast to-do list was to…read morehike the Sentiero degli Dei (aka Path of the Gods). While back at home, I booked a guide to walk with on the route from Bomerano to Nocelle but further research told me this was something I could probably do without a paid guide. As the date of my trip grew nearer I canceled the guide without regret. It would be nearly impossible to get lost on this well-marked trail and seeing large tour groups hiking en masse was an experience I was glad to forgo. While many people hike the Path of the Gods from Bomerano to Nocelle, Bomerano was a 1 hour bus ride (or 25 euro per person private shuttle ride) away from my Positano lodging. Instead, I did as my hotel concierge recommended: I took the bus to Nocelle, hiked in and out on the same path, and completed a big loop trail in the center (about 5 total miles). This is a great alternative for those who don't want to head all the way to Bomerano or who are nervous about starting and ending in different locations, neither of which is the location of your lodging. It's at least equal in length and the stretch you miss, from Bomerano to the split, is only about a 30 minute hike. Living in the California Bay Area I'm accustomed to beautiful mountain trails with water views but none so high up as those seen from here and none, of course, of the Amalfi Coast. Get ready to be amazed. But first, be prepared. The best views are obtained in that center loop trail, about mid-way from either of the trail's entry points in Bomerano or Nocelle. Getting there is a reasonably challenging exercise as the trail is rocky with a fair amount of elevation changes. Come early, before the heat, hydrate, apply sunscreen, use a hiking stick if you have one, and be in shape. The terrain is uneven and you might need to scramble with both hands and feet to get up and down in some points. The mid-way point brings you to a private home whose owner sells lemon granita and offers up his bathroom and some outdoor bench seating from which to (again) savor the views. It's the only bathroom on the trail. If you worry at all about losing track of the trail note that there are red marks applied at regular intervals to large rocks on the trail. If the correct trail is ever in question look for the next red mark and that will effectively keep you on track. Apparently, you can finish in Nocelle then walk some 1700 stairs down to Positano but after 4 hours I'd had enough for the day. I caught the bus back down to Positano from the same location at which I'd disembarked earlier in the day. My Amalfi Coast goal was accomplished.

Great hike that gave us additional views of Amalfi we wouldn't have gotten otherwise…read more Pros: - see the terraced vineyards and gardens - we hiked from Bomerano to Positano, which I recommend. You'll go through a hard part with a lot of steps, and then they'll be an easier section. Made it easier for us to complete hike. - took us about 1.5 hours with small breaks - spots in Bomerano to grab a sandwich or drink before starting the hike. - picnic tables along the way to take a break and one lemonade stand! - easily marked, so we knew how to follow the trail Recommendations: - I recommend stopping by the vending machines to pick up waters - they were cheaper than in the little place we stopped, which charged us 5 euros for everything we got. - wear hiking shoes and bring water! Cons: - store in Bomerano charged 5 euro for everything without really ringing it up. I think they were just gouging tourists, and not actually pricing things accurately. - 1700 steps down to Positano and then a short walk along the road to get into Central Positano. You can avoid the steps if you take the bus, but we powered through...and had very sore knees the next day.
