This path on the Amalfi Coast in Italy has been walking since the early Middle Ages. In the past, farmers and herders used to go down to the market to the sea to sell goods. Now it is a popular tourist route. Italians call it the “Path of the Gods”. The main element is the coastal landscape, which extends to Capri, Faraglioni, the sea and the sky that merges with it. The name of the trail is associated with the Greek mythological character Odysseus and how he was rescued by the gods. The length of the route is about seven kilometers. The trail rises to an altitude of 630 meters above sea level. Hundreds of tourists pass along it every day. Along the way, you can admire vineyards, orange, lemon and olive trees. And, of course, by sea. Going up the hill, you can get to the house of the farmer Antonio Milo. Three generations of his ancestors lived here. At Antonio’s you can taste local cuisine. The “Path of the Gods” is located on the Sorrento Peninsula. There are also other hiking trails. The Italian Alpine Club is responsible for their condition. Thousands of volunteers help in this. They also monitor cleanliness. Tourists walk along the “Path of the Gods” from March to October. But connoisseurs advise not to come in July and August, when it is very hot and crowded. In addition, at this time, prices for everything rise.
