We did The Path of the Gods. I have two trip reports with hiking info.
2016 - https://www.sloweurope.com/community/threads/naples-and-positano.1345/
2017 - https://www.sloweurope.com/community/threads/positano-in-november-2017.2714/
We took a car service to Bomerano to start the hike but you could take the bus to Amalfi, then bus to Bomerano. Then you hike to Nocelle, about 3 hours (maybe shorter) and not difficult. Then bus to Positano, bus to Amalfi, bus to Ravello.
There is a very good hike from Ravello that we did from the Cicerone guide where you walk through all the small towns up there. Or a hike down to Minori (we did part of that). Or hike into Valley of Iron (not sure I got that name right) and down to Amalfi. We did that one. Details should be in those trip reports.

Thank you! I will read them.
Thank you Pauline and ItalophileNJ for reposting this! I am so lazy that I relied entirely on Italophile to take notes and write up everything about the trip so when Slowtrav disappeared and this trip report went away I lost the names of the places we visited. It was such a fun trip, filled with some rather unusual experiences and it's been great to relive it reading the report.

Erice is in Sicily. We are not going that far south. We will be in Campania.

If you are wine lovers, visit this place http://www.levignediraito.com/eng/guided-wine-tours/
It's a woman owned vineyard using organic farming methods. Make sure to have lunch/dinner with them..... it was one of our highlight meals to go along with a spectacular afternoon visit.

No doubt that Path of the Gods is a wonderful hike (and a name from a marketing genius) so I would never discourage you from doing it, but as someone who stayed in Ravello last Spring, I would be remiss in not mentioning there are brilliant hikes from there too, none require anything but your feet, and those that take you to various coastal towns also typically give you an option of taking a bus when you are ascending. And the bus rides are thrilling in their own way -- high speed, curves, blind spots and spaces so tight that when buses pass in opposite, you could light a match holding it out the window. We could stay only a few days in Ravello but can't wait to return. It is a place that steadies your soul, at least mine. That's one reason I personally would focus more on what is walking distance from there rather than a longer drive away.
