Trail of the gods with local guide Saveria Fiore "Ladybug"

About this tour

Walk the ancient trade route that locals call the Path of Gods with Saveria, a Positano native who'll reveal how her ancestors moved goods and livestock across the Amalfi Coast before roads existed. This 4–6 hour trek traces ridgelines with dramatic coastal views whilst connecting you with working farmers, wild herbs used in local cooking and traditional medicine, and the rhythms that still govern life in the villages below. You'll move beyond postcard scenery into genuine landscape history.

Highlights

• Meet local farmers and taste their produce along the route
• Learn wild herbs used in cooking and traditional healing
• Walk the same paths villagers used before the modern road

What to expect

Expect a steady uphill and downhill walk over rocky, sometimes narrow paths with significant elevation changes. The route follows ancient stone trails that wind between terraced land and olive groves, opening onto wide views of the coast. You'll stop at working farms where you can chat with growers, taste what they've made, and learn how they forage and prepare local plants. Saveria talks as you walk—about how her family navigated these hills, which plants heal or flavour food, how the landscape has shaped Positano's character. This isn't a rushed summit push; it's a slow unfurling of how people actually live here.
