The Path of the Gods and Positano

The Path of the Gods is a steep winding route along along the Amalfi Coast which began from Agerola and concluded in Nacelle, the "lost village."  The path once served as the only connection between these towns.  This 5 mile hike through terraced vineyards and forests included panorama views of the sea along limestone ridges overlooking Positano from 1,400 feet above.  Positano is a very unique vertical town, much of which is not drivable.  It was a beautiful, challenging hike that has after 2 days of hiking, has left my calves pretty sore.  I loved getting to see the beauty of the coast from the mountains themselves.  Very unique experience.

Having the chance after the hike to explore Positano for a few hours only makes me want to come back again another time and stay for several days.  The beautifully colored buildings, flowers lining every turn and the bright blue sea is visible in some of the local artwork below.  What a fun day!
