THE PATH OF THE GODS: FLYING OVER THE AMALFI COAST

Among the “high” routes  of the Amalfi coast, this hike moves from Agerola to Positano and is by far the most famous hike you can do. The reason for this fame (which is recognized all over the world) is the constant ups and downs, the fantastic sheer vertical drops and lands cultivated in terraces.  You arrive at the final destination and the highlight of this hike, Punta Campanella ,which is apparently united to the stunning island of Capri. From here viewpoint to the west we see siren archipelagos and swirling shapes. There is much to explain here regarding the colours of the Mediterranean lands, known as our “Path of the Gods”.
