Things to do in Amalfi Coast
Path of the Gods
Getting to the trailhead in Bomerano
From Amalfi this can be accomplished by a rideshare (recommended and most flexible), getting a taxi (most expensive), or catching the 5080 SITA bus (cheapest but stressful if you have a time schedule).
Trail Options
From Bomerano to Nocelle is 3.6 miles; going on to Positano is a total of 5.8 miles. Starting in Bomerano and heading west, the hike will be down hill. Stopping in Nocelle is a popular option because going on to Positano is down 1700 stone steps and can be difficult on knees. Additional peaks include Monte Tre Calli, Monto Calabrice and Cape Muro.
Considerations
There are some places along the hike to refill your water bottle, or purchase refreshments and snacks if desired. This path is hikable year round, and will be busiest from April-October. We went towards the end of September while there wasn’t much of a crowd and the weather was perfect.
