Walking along the Path of the Gods, it is also possible to admire a wonderful panorama from the top.

• Furore: the village of Furore is characterized by its famous fjord on the sea, between Positano and Amalfi. It is a real corner of paradise, also nicknamed "the town that doesn't exist", due to its geological conformation.
