Dirac (1952) proved that every connected graph of order $n>2k+1$ with minimum degree more than $k$ contains a path of length at least $2k+1$. In this paper, we show that
(a) for $k>r\ge 3$, every connected $r$-uniform hypergragh of order $n>2k(r-1)$ with $\delta_1(H)>{k\choose r-1}$ contains a Berge path of length at least $2k+1$;
(b) for $k>r\ge 4$, every connected $r$-uniform hypergragh $H$ of order $n>2k+1$ with $\delta_1(H)\ge {k\choose r-1}$ contains a Berge path of length at least $2k+1$, unless $H$ is one of the two kinds of described extremal hypergraphs.
As an application of (b), we give a much better lower bound of the minimum degree than the one given in a Dirac-type theorem for Berge Hamiltonian cycle proved by Bermond, Germa, Heydemann, and Sotteau (1976).
