The Path of the Gods

The Path of the Gods is one of the most famous and beautiful hiking trails on the Mediterranean coast, thanks to the wonderful panorama between Bomerano and Nacelle, two small villages scattered along the Amalfi Coast, a famous part of the southern coast of Sorrento.

This incredible route, where the peaks of the Lattari Mountains stand out against the blue of the sea towards the island of Capri, still tells tales of myths and legends to those who live in those places and those who visit them. The name of this beautiful path actually derives from Greek mythology and speaks of the encounter between Ulysses and the Sirens. The legend places the islands of the Sirens in Li Galli, the small archipelago located west of Positano. The legend says that Ulysses had himself tied to the mainmast to resist the tempting song of the Sirens, and that the gods of Olympus, descended to earth to prevent their favorite from shipwrecking; but, arriving from the east, in their haste to save Ulysses, they ended up getting lost along that wonderful coast, leaving a trail of cliffs and wonderful landscapes that now bear the name of the “Amalfi Coast”. The Path of the Gods by Nobile 1942 is a fragrant journey through the scents of the Amalfi Coast.
