You leave Piazza Tasso before the town has fully woken, the air carrying lemon and salt as the minivan climbs toward the trailhead. The Path of the Gods opens like a ledge carved between sky and sea: a narrow footpath that threads terraces, dry‑stone walls and the occasional shepherd's hut, with Capri and the Li Galli islands framed on the horizon.

You leave Piazza Tasso before the town has fully woken, the air carrying lemon and salt as the minivan climbs toward the trailhead. The Path of the Gods opens like a ledge carved between sky and sea: a narrow footpath that threads terraces, dry‑stone walls and the occasional shepherd's hut, with Capri and the Li Galli islands framed on the horizon.
This route follows ancient mule tracks used by mountain farmers and shepherds for centuries; the cliffs themselves are limestone and marl, folded and scoured by the Tyrrhenian winds, creating sudden outcrops and broad panoramic shelves. Cultural traces are visible—olive terraces, terracotta roofs, and the shepherd's refuge where you stop to taste local cheeses, bread, and cured meats sourced from the Sorrento Peninsula.
Expect a steady Mediterranean cadence: sun on limestone, wind pushing you toward the coast, and the sea answering in ultramarine below. The hike rewards steady attention rather than speed—photographing the terraces, watching a peregrine sweep the gorges, or pausing to sample provolone and olive oil at the refuge.
Practical guidance: the walk is roughly a linear 6‑hour excursion including transfers and tasting stops; trails are uneven with short exposed sections, so sturdy footwear and layered clothing matter. Bring 1–1.5 liters of water, sun protection, and a small daypack. Start early to avoid midday heat and crowded viewpoints, and allow time to descend toward Positano or return by transfer to Sorrento. Respect trail etiquette—stay on the path and carry out any waste to help preserve this fragile coastline.
