Overview: car trip from Praiano to Naples

The Amalfi coast is among the most famous vacation destinations for those seeking luxurious beaches, charming towns, and amazing Italian cuisine. The drive from Praiano to Naples will take you across the beautiful Sorrentine Peninsula and along the Bay of Naples. This short distance of 44 miles (70 km) is chock full of some of the oldest archeological sites in European history.

You’ll travel along the SS163 highway to Sorrento, then onto the SS145 highway. The small Italian villages will pass by your window, and the cliffs are dotted with churches and palaces overlooking the sea. This highway will take you around the Bay of Naples, where you can see boats docked on the shore and in the sea.

Once you’re on the A3 highway, it is a straight shot back to Naples. But why go straight back when you can stop to soak up even more Italian history and culture (and food and wine)? See the vestiges of ancient Rome at the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Stretch your legs hiking Mt. Vesuvius, or enjoy lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio. When you ride with Daytrip, you can have a full-day experience before you get back to Naples!

About Naples

Naples is one of the oldest trading posts and cities in history, going as far back as the 8th century BCE. It is located in southern Italy and was founded by the Greeks according to ancient written records. Much of its cultural impact came from its role as a gateway between seafaring traders and land merchants. Even today, you’ll notice that many of the ferries that travel across the Tyrrhenian Sea start from Naples. Besides ancient sea routes, you’ll find the land routes are just as old, like the roads taking you from Praiano to Naples.

Millions visit Naples each year for its authentic Italian feel. This chaotic city has just enough grit to give you the experience of living in a real city instead of a tourist destination. That's not to say it's not worth a visit. In fact, Naples' historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with stupendous churches and palaces from its heyday.

Naples is also a popular launching point for excursions to the Mediterranean islands off of the coast. Its close proximity to ancient archeological sites like Pompeii and the Amalfi coast makes it a natural last stop before getting on your flight home via the NAP airport.

From Praiano to Naples: travel tips

Keep these tips in mind to make your trip from Praiano to Naples go off without a hitch.

Keep your belongings close by

Italy has a very low violent crime rate, but pickpocketing is common. Don’t become a victim! Keep your phone and wallet out of your back pocket and don’t carry large amounts of cash. Instead, pick a bag with zippers and keep it close to you.

Give yourself plenty of time

No one wants to feel like they’re going to miss their flight! If you are traveling to the NAP airport, give yourself plenty of time for possible delays, especially when traveling by bus or train. Airlines tend to suggest getting to the airport two hours before your flight but check the specific recommendations for your trip based on the time of year and possible airport construction. If you are traveling with children or a lot of luggage, account for this as well.

How to get from Praiano to Naples

Any public transit trip from Praiano to Naples requires transferring in Sorrento. Good thing Daytrip has two ways to travel directly back to Naples without having to change buses with your luggage! Choose a shuttle bus or private driver for the most direct route back to Naples.

Praiano to Naples with Daytrip’s shuttle buses

Daytrip’s shuttle buses can get you from Praiano to Naples in as little as 90 minutes. Our drivers speak both English and Italian, so you can communicate with ease. Go directly to the airport, or the downtown of Naples, without having to change trains or drive on Italy’s infamous roads. Book your trip today for as little as $30 (27 euros)!

Praiano to Naples with Daytrip’s private drivers

Skip the crowded buses and haul your luggage up onto a train with a private driver! Our drivers can get you to Naples in as little as 90 minutes, or you can take your time and see some popular sites like Pompeii.

Your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Praiano, help with your luggage, and take you back to Naples on your schedule. If you are heading to the airport, we’ll be able to pull right up to the drop-off point for your terminal with ease.

Praiano to Naples by bus

The Sita bus company operates buses from Praiano to Sorrento, which take about 45 minutes. Tickets cannot be bought in advance, and a ticket does not guarantee a seat, so you may be standing. From Sorrento, you’ll change buses. If you are going directly to the NAP airport, take the Curreri Viaggi shuttle bus for $11 (10 euros) and you are required to buy a ticket ahead of time.

Praiano to Naples by train

Praiano doesn’t have a train station, but you can take a bus or taxi to Sorrento, and from Sorrento, you can take the train to Naples. For $3 (3 euros), you can take the Circumvesuviana train, which leaves every half hour during the summer. This leg of your journey takes one hour and 10 minutes, but the tickets can’t be bought in advance and they may sell out by the time you get to the train station.

For $8 (7 euros), you can take the slightly faster Campania Express, which has A/C, guaranteed seats, and spots for your luggage. It's worth the extra cost, especially because these tickets can be bought in advance.

Praiano to Naples by ferry

You can’t take a ferry straight from Praiano, but if you get to Sorrento by bus or taxi, you can take the ferry to Naples. The Alilauro Hydrofoil departs from the main port in Sorrento and for just $15 (13 euros), will get you to the Moro Beverello Pier in Naples. The schedule changes depending on the season, so check everything beforehand!

Things to do when you get to Naples

Naples is Italy’s third-largest city and always has something to do! After your drive from Praiano to Naples, go out on the town for these great activities:

Visit the National Archaeological Museum

If you didn’t get a chance to see Pompeii and Herculaneum, come to the National Archeological Museum for its large collection of artifacts from the Mt. Vesuvius eruption. You can also see Greco-Roman remains of civilizations, mosaics, sculptures, and even the Farnese Bull. If you are visiting in the summer, book your tickets ahead of time to save on waiting in line.

Go underground at Underground Naples

As one of the world’s oldest cities, Naples is built on its own remains. Head to the Naples underground to see thousands of years of artifacts in its many catacombs and tunnels. This cool getaway is perfect for hot summer days. The Catacombs of San Gennaro are particularly popular and worth the trip. Book your tickets ahead of time to ensure you’ll get a spot, especially in the summer.

Journey to the islands

If you haven’t had enough of the ocean yet, take one of Naples’ many ferries to the islands of Procida, Capri, and Ischia. Each island has its own unique draw and the ferries are frequent and fast! They are a short distance from the mainland, so you can still be back in time for dinner.

When is the best time to visit Naples

Naples is most popular during the summer. Between June and August, you’ll have the most options for entertainment and transportation, but it is more crowded and expensive. The sun can be quite intense, and the urban heat island effect means the city will feel warmer than on the shore.

For milder weather, cheaper accommodation, and smaller crowds, try to time your visit for spring or fall. If you plan on doing any hiking during your trip, it is best to visit during these shoulder seasons.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
