Private car transfer from Sorrento to Praiano

When you travel with Daytrip by private car transfer with an English-speaking driver, you’ll get to the first stop and visit the Stabia Archeological Site. This site was once a Roman resort town, and when you visit, you can see how the upper echelon of Roman society lived more than 2,000 years ago.

After admiring the archeological site, you can stop in Positano. This popular resort town along the Amalfi Coast is well known for its pastel-colored houses that cascade down the cliffside and its spectacular views of the ocean. Not to mention, it's one of the more romantic places to tour on the Amalfi Coast, so it's especially worth it for couples.

Afterward, Praiano is only a short drive away, so you’ll be soaking up the sun, dining on fresh seafood, and admiring the gorgeous views in no time.

Praiano is found in the Campania region of Italy. Most know it for its beautiful beaches, crystal clear Mediterranean waters, and picturesque old town. Unlike other major resort towns on the Amalfi Coast, Praiano offers visitors an intimate, relaxed atmosphere and an idealistic break from urban living.

When you visit Praiano, whether you arrive by ferry, bus, taxi, or private door-to-door car service, you can enjoy a range of activities. From hiking the Path of the Gods and swimming in the blue Mediterranean Ocean to boat trips and sampling local cuisine and wine, Praiano has something for everyone.

Historically, Praiano was once a fishing village, but it has grown to become one of the brightest jewels on the Amalfi Coast. It used to be the residence of the doges during the summer, and it's not hard to see why when you visit. Its narrow streets, small stairways, and colorful houses are both beautiful and inviting. Not to mention its beautiful beaches, vantage points, and religious sights also demonstrate why the town has become a popular travel destination.

So pack a bag, book with Daytrip, and prepare for an exciting trip from Sorrento to Praiano. Much awaits you in this gorgeous coastal resort town.

Try to time your trip wisely

When planning a trip from Sorrento to Praiano, the first thing you need to do is time your trip wisely. Since the Amalfi Coast is famous with holidaymakers, you’ll want to avoid visiting Praiano during the peak season if you want to enjoy lower prices, less congested roads, and sold-out accommodations.

Consider packing light

Many of the places found along the way between Sorrento and Praiano that you may visit have steep, narrow streets with lots of stair climbing and uneven surfaces. So it's best to consider packing light.

Try to pack only what you need and choose easy-to-carry luggage or suitcases with wheels. If you book with Daytrip your driver will help you with your luggage once you get to Praiano, so that’s one less worry.

Stay hydrated

There’s no denying that the Mediterranean climate can be intense year-round, but especially in the summer. So, no matter when you travel, you need to stay hydrated. When you travel with Daytrip, we’ll provide you with bottled water, but it's best to also carry a refillable bottle wherever you go. You also shouldn’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat, as exploring Praiano means spending a lot of time outdoors.

From Sorrento to Praiano by bus

If you don't care too much about overcrowded cabins and comfort and aren’t afraid of driving up winding roads in a bus, you should consider taking the bus from Sorrento to Praiano.

Buses are the most budget-friendly travel option, and a bus leaves Sorrento for Praiano every hour, but to be sure, check the timetable. Trips are also offered regularly, and tickets are quite cheap. You should expect to pay between $3 and $5 (€2.70-€4.50) per ticket if you book with SITA, and you can expect the trip to take about an hour and a half, depending on traffic.

During your bus trip, you can expect stunning views of the cost, but don't expect more than what you pay for in terms of amenities and facilities onboard.

From Sorrento to Praiano by taxi

Taxis are one of the most readily available transportation options in Sorrento, so they are a good choice for those needing to complete a Sorrento to Praiano transfer during the day. However, taking a taxi can be incredibly expensive, with the fare often between $70 and $100 (€63-€91), if not more, during peak times and holidays.

If you want to take a taxi, you should book with the Positano Car Service, but if you want a similar and better experience, consider a private car service like Daytrip, which also offers door-to-door service and faster travel.

From Sorrento to Praiano by private car transfer service

Many travelers completing a Sorrento to Praiano trip find traveling with the door-to-door private transfer service Daytrip to be the best option. Unlike other travel options for this route, Daytrip offers the trifecta: It is convenient, comfortable, and affordable.

On average, booking with Daytrip will cost $30 (€27), which is cheaper than a taxi but not as cheap as a bus. However, several benefits make it the best option. For example, you’ll have an English-speaking driver who can share travel insights, provide flexible booking, and give you the opportunity to stop and sightsee.

In addition, Daytrip is also pet friendly, whereas bus and taxi travel often is not. Plus, with Daytrip you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your road trip without worrying about other passengers, your safety, or the time.

We’ve shared a few of the best things to do during your visit to Praiano to help ensure you enjoy it to the fullest.

Church of San Gennaro

If you want to visit a grand church during your stay, you should add exploring the Church of San Gennaro to your travel itinerary. This church is the only building along the Amalfi Coast with baroque architecture. It is also one of the only churches in Praiano that has survived several rebuilds and renovations over the centuries.

When you visit, be sure to take pictures of the splendor you find inside. With intricate hand-painted majolica tiles and terracotta floors, the inside of this church is pristine and a feast for the eyes. In addition, depending on when you visit, you can look forward to sports events, festivals, and concerts that are hosted in the piazza next to this 15th-century church throughout the year.

In particular, the Luminaria di San Domenico festival in late July or early August is worth experiencing, as the piazza is lit up by thousands of candles.

Footpath of the Gods

Hiking enthusiasts will not want to miss out on traversing the ‘Footpath of the Gods.’ This hiking trail spans 4.3 miles (7 km), and a piece is found in Praiano. However, to get to the Praiano portion of the ‘Footpath of the Gods, ’ you need to complete a challenging climb of about 1,900 steps, so you need to be prepared to work up a sweat.

Torre a Mare

Torre a Mare was once a medieval guard tower before it became an art studio. It can be found up high on a headland near Piano’s Marina di Praia beach. It's a must-visit location not only for its interesting history as a past lookout to keep away Saracen invaders but also because of the local art and culture found in its vicinity.

Torre a Mare used to be the studio of artist Paolo Sandulli. When you visit the tower, you’ll see terracotta sculptures and paintings that line its interior walls, nooks, and crannies. We think you’ll like the interesting busts of elegant women with sea sponge hair the most since their hairstyles were inspired by the royal ladies of the 15th-century Kingdom of Aragon!
