Highly recommend a personal guide. We used ZiaLucy out of Positano, who was highly recommended to us, and her guide, Luca, was amazing. We started at Bomerano and ended above Positano, after a 3.5 hour hike. Getting transportation to and from is not easy. We ended up hiring a private car to Bomerano. Then Luca arranged for a public bus from high above Positano down, but it was too crowded for us and we hopped off and walked all the way down, then took a private boat arranged with La Sabilla (fantastic) back to Amalfi. The private tour was 210 euro for our group of 3, which I thought was very reasonable and so worth it! The path is very challenging physically, much of it small rocks up and down. We were so thankful we had a guide to help us navigate.

Sorry for the delayed response, didn’t see your question earlier. Once in Bomerano, you are really at your own pace and it’s so beautiful, it’s not something you want to rush. I remember that we took the 10:00 am bus from Amalfi to Bomerano and the last boat (believe it was about 5 pm) back to Sorrento where we were staying. I’m guessing we were in Positano by 3 pm because there was a nasty rainstorm that blew in about 3:30 & we were grateful to be off the trail. You can do the hike in 21/2 to 3 hrs. But hey, stop & smell the ocean air, it’s fantastic!

The whole hike is incredible! I loved the views of the terraced farms in the beginning of the hike. You should be able to make it to the first water fountain from Bomerano, that view is spectacular! P.S. I’m from Lima, Ohio and we saw some fellow Buckeyes on the trail. I absolutely loved the Path of the Gods!

It is definitely worth hiring a driver to take you to the start of the hike. We hired Sorrento Car Service and they are wonderful! Our driver picked us up in Praiano and dropped us off at the trailhead in Bomerano. The drive is beautiful. The bus ride would take about two hours, and then you would start the hike much later in the morning. We then took a boat taxi back to Praiano from Positano. That was a very reasonable way to travel!

Fiordo di Furore is apparently closed due to rocks falling, but if you’re starting from there you have to take the little stairs going all the way up until you reach Bomerano. The stairs are not cleared and you’ll get full of mosquito bites. Our hotel was located half way between the Fiordo and Bomerano and it take 30 mins going up or down the stairs both ways. Therefore, if you don’t want to hike for an hour before starting the actual hike of the Path of the Gods, you’re better off taking the SITA bus. Check the schedule as it changes every now and then. The bus is normally 1.30€ each way.

I wore shorts end of August last year , it got warm walking . Need to start early
