Choose the walking route before arranging travel. Bomerano and San Lazzaro are different starts; Nocelle and central Positano are different finishes.
Bomerano and Piazza Paolo Capasso
Bomerano serves one of the best-known approaches to the Path of the Gods. Piazza Paolo Capasso provides a place to orient yourself and prepare: check your route and local signs, take what you need and confirm the return plan.
The square is a road arrival point; the panoramic trail continues on foot. If meeting a hiking guide, use their exact meeting instructions rather than a nearby map pin.
Choose the hike before the photograph
The crossing between the Bomerano area and Nocelle is a Monti Lattari walking experience with coastal views and cultivated landscapes. Terrain, exposure and elevation require a considered choice; it is not an urban stroll to add to an already full day.
Consult park information and current notices, assess weather and group ability, and bring water, suitable footwear and sun protection. Ask an appropriate professional about route choice or accompaniment; a transfer booking does not establish trail conditions.
Nocelle or Positano: decide your finish
Nocelle is an upper hamlet within Positano’s territory and can be where your walking plan finishes. Continuing to the waterfront centre adds walking and steps; the two are not interchangeable endpoints.
Decide before arranging collection. Specify where you will reach a road and allow for your actual pace. A tight onward connection based on an unfamiliar route can make the walk unnecessarily rushed.
San Lazzaro and a different walk
San Lazzaro is another Agerola area, with Piazza Generale Avitabile as a reference point. The Colonia Montana circuit provides an option around the park, with vegetation and landscape openings, if you do not want a crossing to Nocelle.
Study it according to your walking preferences and actual conditions. A more contained itinerary can leave room for the village and lunch without making every Agerola visit a long hike.
Time in the village and at the table
Leave time before or after walking for a village stop. Cultivated land and hamlet life belong to the experience as much as the views. Lunch gives a different rhythm to a place often described only through its famous trail.
Choose a post-walk meal around where you actually finish. From Nocelle or Positano, returning to Agerola is another journey to plan rather than the automatic end of the walk.
Two road meetings, not a vehicle on the trail
Prepare the accommodation pickup, walking start and eventual collection point. Share group size and any equipment or luggage, explaining whether you want to return to base or continue elsewhere.
Transport concerns road journeys. Hiking accompaniment and route assessment are separate. Check seasonal timetables if using public transport and keep an alternative, particularly when finishing in a different town.
PUTTING IT TOGETHER
A suggested itinerary
Prepare the start
Choose Bomerano for the route towards Nocelle, or San Lazzaro for a walk in another part of Agerola.
Give the walk its time
Follow the chosen route and current information. Do not schedule other visits as if every group walks at the same pace.
Finish in the right place
Pause and meet transport at your planned finish: Nocelle, Positano or the original hamlet, depending on the itinerary.
Before choosing your plan
Can a taxi travel along the Path of the Gods?
No. The trail is on foot; transport can reach an agreed road start and collection point.
Is Nocelle already at the sea in Positano?
No. It is uphill, and continuing to the waterfront adds walking and steps.
Is Agerola worth visiting without the crossing?
Yes. Choose another walk, hamlet landscapes and lunch, for example around San Lazzaro.
Arrange your visits
Check opening arrangements, admissions and route conditions for your chosen day.
