Praiano Travel Guide

Introduction

6.5km (4 miles) E of Positano and 9km (5 miles) W of Amalfi

The busiest stretch of the Costiera, the area between Amalfi and Positano, is studded with little towns both by the water and up the cliffs. These are often bypassed by tourists who make a beeline for more famous destinations -- a boon for the traveler who chooses to tarry here. Praiano is the abbreviated name for the twin villages (Vettica Maggiore to the west, and Praiano to the east) that are the two faces of Capo Sottile, the promontory east of Positano.
