Amalfi is one of the most beautiful Italian scenic roads that connects the resorts of the Amalfi Coast. It looks like the thread on which precious pearls of the Coast are strung: Amalfi, Positano, Ravello or Vietri sul Mare. Among these pearls is also Praiano, a quiet fishing village located between Positano and Conca dei Marini.

Seen from afar Praiano looks like a crib town with its colorful little houses perched on the slopes of Monte Tre Galli and with the underlying cobalt sea. The location of Praiano did not allow a great urban development, and this pretty town has preserved the architecture and structure of a small village.

It also marked the inhabitants who have a strong habit of distinguishing the fraction upstream, from that of the sea side with the term “Praiano” and” Vettica.”

Praiano is made of alleys, some of which are still pebbles, of alleys that intertwine and many stairways that unite the roads placed on different levels. Walking through the streets you are impressed by the variety of colors present.

Bright colors, due to the ubiquitous flowers and votive newsstands, placed on the corners of the streets, testifying to the faith of the villagers. These newsstands are very colorful and have the form of small churches with frescoes made with majolica. Majolica also decorate the churches of Praiano: just look at the majolica dome of the church of San Gennaro Vescovo and Martyr or that of San Luca, which in addition to the majolica dome preserves a splendid majolica floor dating back to the end of the 18th century.

Praiano offers the opportunity to admire the beauty of the Amalfi Coast up close. From here starts the famous "Path of the Gods “, a long panoramic walk of rare intensity that can be tackled in stages or all in one breath.
