Summary

The Path of the Gods is one of the world's iconic hikes. With stunning views of the Amalfi Coast, it's no wonder people from around the world flock to the region and take to the cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

But this walk is becoming increasingly popular and with that comes some challenges. In this episode, we chat with local hiking guide Zia Lucy about things to consider before attempting this hike and alternative routes with views that are just as stunning but which attract fewer crowds and may be more suitable to visitors of different levels of experience and ability.
