Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Hike along Italy's most beautiful coastal trail, in the heart of the Mediterranean vegetation and surrounded by vertical cliffs and spectacular views over Positano, Praiano and Capri.

We will meet in the square, full of nice cafes and local deli shops. It won't take long for you to figure out why this is called the path of the Gods: incredible vertical sceneries with grapes and lemon trees will give you the feeling of being suspended between sky and sea.

We will stop along the way, and I will tell you countless stories about our culture, our lifestyle, and the local history of the villages, as well as the myths related to the trail.
After a couple of hours of walk, ups and downs along the rocky trail that stretches between limestone cliffs, we will finally head towards the hamlet of Nocelle. From there you can decide to head down to Positano by either taking a local bus that runs every hour, or walking down the 1800 stairs to the center of town.
Upon request, picnic can be added.

Positano will be admired from the path, and eventually explored after a long stairway down of 1800 stairs
