In one word "breathtaking". Note: starting from Agerola you encouter a two way sign to Nochelle, left and right. Taking the left side is a little bit more difficult, the right side is more level. Both paths poses beautiful views and come together later on. Hands down one of the most beautiful hikes we've ever done!! (Don't be afraid of heights!!)

We booked our Path of the Gods excursion via Get Your Guide, and the trip was run by See Over Pompeii.

The organizers were prompt with their communication and kept us to date via WhatsApp.

We were staying in Sorrento and were picked up at the Piazza Tasso, near to where we were staying. There were multiple trips meeting at the location, but the organizers quickly called everyone together, separated, then Shepard’d us onto the correct bus.

The trip to the town next to the Path of the Goods trail took us about 90mins, at which point we were given 20mins to stretch our feet, grab coffee before the start of the trek.

We were split into groups, with my lot falling under the instructor, Johnny (Giovanni Gargiulo) who was amazing throughout our hike.

Their version of the hike formed a loop which took trekkers through all the major points, while letting them experience the full hike if you wanted to go the extra lengths (down the final 1000 or so stairs to Positano).

We were given hiking poles to help with general stability, at which point we briefly met the Shepard who we’d eat with later. We saw his goats get released and met a few of them along the trail.
There are amazing views throughout the walk, from old abandoned houses and farming landscapes, to the stunning Amalfi coastlines below.

On our way back to the town, we stopped by the Shepards hut and ate lunch with him and his dogs. The food was all freshly prepared and locally sourced, including the great goat’s cheese! He performed a song for us, we drank, saluted each other and continued the hike back to the town.

The final steps and slopes to return to the town were the hardest.
On return to the town, we were all given 20-30mins to relax, regenerate and ready for our trip back to Sorrento.

All in all, it was well worth the money and was a great chance to look back into the lives of the farmers of these coastlines.

Highly recommended.

The hike is beautiful and absolutely worth it.   If you have bad knees and fall easily, I do not recommend.   It has a lot of uneven rocks and many steep steps.   Otherwise, take your time and enjoy the view.   We ended our hike by walking to La Tagliata.   The food was AMAZING.   The only choice we got was between light or second lunch.   We got the light lunch and it was more than enough.   Highly recommend going there regardless.
