Sunrise Tour
Waking up before dawn for a sunrise hike can be pleasantly stimulating and is worth the effort; especially to make it to a rewarding scenic landscape.
It is an unforgettable experience: the pleasure of walking when the darkness of the night gives way to the first glows of light that precede the rising of the sun, when the dim light becomes more and more intense showing unusual colors that change by the minute, and when finally the explosion of light of the sun that appears on the horizon shows all its beneficial glory.
This short circular hike starts from the town of Scala and takes you up to ca. 700mt.

Path of the Gods
You need good shoes and a head for heights to walk the legendary Path of the Gods, which offers dizzying sea views all the way to the point of the peninsula and beyond. The mythical Sentiero degli Dei is by far the best-known walk on the Amalfi Coast. The name is no misnomer, the views are divine. Making a spectacular traverse high above the Mediterranean with heavenly views over terraced fields and hazy mountains, the scenery is a typical Amalfi imitation of dramatic natural landscapes modified by generations of human settlers. This is an amazing circular hike beginning and ending at Bomerano.
