As a local guide on the Path of Gods (Sentiero degli Dèi) I can tell everyone that it’s a beautiful walk along the Amalfi Coast.
Every day the path seems different and guiding customers from all over the world makes me happy and relaxed. I meet lots of people and they all love what I tell them about the land I live in.
For me the Path of Gods is beautiful at every time and it’s not only about nature and beautiful views: there’s lots of history about this magic land and sometimes the walk looks like a gothic novel, fog and goats all over but when fog goes away, the sun shines and you have a great view of the coast till Capri Island.
Lots of writers fell in love with this walk, one of those was D.H. Lawrence, “Is this the view” he wrote “that from on high along the Path of the Gods, opens to our sight: it is the picture of the great loop of the Amalfi coastline that looks towards the west, towards the Island of Capri, that precipitous coast, steamy, hot, with the crystalline mountains where the gods of today are forsaken and you find a lost self again. Mediterranean, before you”.
No better words could describe the walk along the Path of Gods and every time I show my customers the beauty of this walk, I feel lucky to live here.. where the sky ends into the sea and your eyes can’t capture the difference.
I always suggest my customers to start from Bomerano. Most of the times the bus to go to Bomerano is crowded and hot, the drivers goes fast and you feel you’re dying at every turn, but after experiencing the Amalfi Coast lifestyle (we catch the bus every day since young) you can breathe and relax for a while before starting the walk.
I always have my camera into my backpack and I always take thousands of beautiful pictures that sometimes I download on facebook or pinterest.
The Path of Gods is an easy walk for those who generally hike and do sports but if you don’t move and never hike it could be strenuous because there are rocky steps, so don’t think the walk is flat and comfortable as in Central Park…it’s a mountain path and it goes up and down for 7km.
A good pair of hiking or running shoes is required otherwise you can slip or you can hurt your ankles and knees. Water is another “Must to bring” because if you don’t drink you can feel very bad.
I do the walk on the Path of Gods many times, so if you need a guide do not hesitate to write me a mail: [email protected]
