Best time to hike the Path of the Gods

The path is open all year. The best months are April to June and September to October. In July and August there is little shade and the path is crowded, so start early, before 9:00, and carry plenty of water. In winter the days are short, rain makes the rock and steps slippery, and buses and ferries run less often; some hotels in Positano close from about November to March. In dry summers wildfires sometimes close the path for a few days (it was closed after fires in August 2020), so check before you go.
