The Path of the Gods has become famous in recent years thanks to its sky-line among the most suggestive and famous in the world that crosses the Amalfi coast rich of Mediterranean maquis where the vines makes it prodrona and grows along the ridge of the Lattari mountains that plunge into the blue sea of the coast from which you can see the island of Capri. The name given to this naturalistic route comes from historical facts and legends according to which the Greek gods passed through here to save Ulysses from the sirens that were on the island of Li Galli.
