Agerola is the “balcony” of the Amalfi Coast. Situated 600 meters above sea level, it offers a cool breeze, authentic flavors, and the starting point of the world-famous Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei).
While most tourists struggle with crowded buses and limited schedules, smart travelers choose to reach Agerola from Amalfi or Praiano by scooter. At Rent in Costa, we provide the perfect ride to conquer the hairpins of the “Agerolina” road and start your hike stress-free.
Reaching Agerola from the coast is a journey in itself. The road (SR366) offers some of the most spectacular viewpoints of the entire Salerno Gulf.
Beat the Bus Crowds: Skip the long lines at the Amalfi bus terminal. With a scooter, you leave when you want.
Easy Parking in Bomerano: Finding a car park in Agerola during high season is nearly impossible. With a scooter, you can park just steps away from the Path of the Gods trailhead.
Cooler Temperatures: When the coast is scorching, Agerola offers a refreshing escape.
The hike starts in Bomerano, a hamlet of Agerola. It is a 7km trail that leads to Positano, offering divine views.
Pro Tip for Renters: Drive your scooter to Bomerano, park, hike the trail, and take the ferry/bus back to Amalfi to retrieve your scooter, or use Agerola as a base for a round-trip hike to the “Li Cannati” viewpoint.
Local Flavor: Before starting the hike, stop at a local salumeria in Bomerano to buy the famous Fior di Latte mozzarella and Agerola bread for a world-class picnic on the trail.
Agerola is not just for hikers. By renting a scooter, you can easily explore its different hamlets:
Punta Belvedere (San Lazaro): Offering one of the most stunning views overlooking Amalfi and the sea.
The “Orrido di Pino”: A dramatic natural canyon for those who love wilder trails.
Gastronomic Tour: Visit local farms producing Provolone del Monaco and artisanal cured meats.
The ride from Amalfi to Agerola takes about 30-40 minutes. It is a scenic climb with several “tornanti” (hairpin turns).
Road Conditions: The road is well-paved but winding.
Safety: Use your horn gently on narrow curves and stay on your side of the road. For more details, check our [Amalfi Coast Scooter Safety Guide].
Where to Park: Look for the white lines in the center of Bomerano or near the entrance of the trail.
What to bring: Even in summer, bring a light jacket for the ride back down, as temperatures drop in the evening.
Fuel: Make sure to have a full tank before leaving Amalfi, although there are gas stations in Agerola.
