Discover Nocelle

Nocelle, a picturesque village perched high above the Amalfi Coast, welcomed us with its tranquil charm during our journey along the Path of the Gods. As we hiked through this idyllic hamlet, we couldn’t resist pausing to admire the breathtaking vistas of the azure sea and lush landscapes.

Indulging in delicious pasta dishes, while Chiyoko happily sipped her water, we relished the genuine Italian flavors and hospitality.

Our tips for Path of Gods

1. Check the Weather: Before embarking on the hike, make sure to check the weather forecast. It’s best to choose a clear and sunny day for the hike to fully enjoy the breathtaking views.
2. Carry Enough Water: Stay hydrated during the hike, especially for your dog. Bring enough water for both of you, water sources may be only at the start and end of the trail.
3. Rest and Shade: Take frequent breaks during the hike, especially during hot weather. Look for shaded spots where you (and your dog) can rest and cool down and enjoy the wonderful views.
4. Best photography: Opt for the morning hours! With the sun behind you, the trail is beautifully illuminated, creating perfect lighting conditions for stunning photos. In the afternoon, hiking towards the sun can be challenging for photography.

So, leash up, put on your hiking boots, and set off on a majestic adventure that will forever hold a special place in your hearts.
