The route from Naples airport takes the A3 motorway and SS163 coastal road past Positano to Praiano. In normal traffic: 90–100 minutes. Your driver navigates the narrow coast road daily and knows every pull-off and shortcut. The village stretches down the cliff face between two beaches: Gavitella (west, sunset) and Marina di Praia (east, harbour).
Praiano is the starting point for the famous Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) — a 4-hour clifftop hike with views that rival any in the Mediterranean. It's also home to some of the coast's best restaurants: Casa e Bottega for creative cuisine, Kasai for sunset aperitivi, and Trattoria San Gennaro for honest local cooking.
Accommodation in Praiano costs 30–40% less than equivalent properties in Positano — [holiday apartments](/stays) with the same dramatic sea views but without the crowds and the premium. From Praiano, [Positano](/private-transfer-naples-to-positano) is 15 minutes by car, [Amalfi](/naples-to-amalfi-coast-transfer) 20 minutes, and the [Capri ferry](/capri-boat-tour-from-sorrento) in Sorrento is 40 minutes.
