Naples에서 Praiano까지 Private car transfer

Praiano’s name comes from the Latin "Pelagianum," or "open sea," reflecting its spot on the Amalfi Coast. People come to Praiano for its serene beaches, panoramic views of the sea, and the small-town Italian experience.

Nature lovers come to Praiano for hiking, boating, and diving. It has great hiking trails for outdoor adventurers of all skill levels. The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) is a popular trail that rewards all of your hiking with stunning views of the coastline. Boat tours can take you out on the water to sea caves and grottos that can only be reached from the sea.

Whether you come to Praiano to relax on its quiet beaches, take a hike, or bond as a family, you’ll find just what you’re looking for in this understated town on the Amalfi Coast.

Keep a waterproof bag for valuables

Sand, water, and electronics don’t mix! Bring a waterproof bag for your phone, headphones, and wallet to protect your most important items. While you are in the water, have your valuables hidden from view.

Have cash on you

A lot of beachside cafes, kiosks, and stalls don’t accept cards, so have euros in small bills for your snacks and drinks.

Naples to Praiano with Daytrip’s private car service

Daytrip's private car service is the best way to get from Naples to Praiano if you care about speed, comfort, and convenience. Your driver will pick you up from anywhere you want in Naples and take you to your accommodation in Praiano.

Naples to Praiano by bus

If you are traveling from the Naples Airport (NAP), you can take the Curreri Viaggi shuttle bus to Sorrento for about 10 euros. It departs every 2 hours from the P1 parking area at NAP from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM every day (except for New Year and Christmas, so check ahead of time!)

After the hour-long (ish) trip to Sorrento, you have to change to a Sita bus to Praiano for another 45-minute ride. These buses run several times a day, and during the peak travel season, they depart every 30 minutes. Tickets for this leg of your journey are about $11-$13 (10 to 12 euros), but the ticket doesn’t guarantee you a seat and is often full.

Once you get to the Praiano bus station, you may need a taxi to get to your final destination, whether that is your hotel or the beach.

Naples to Praiano by train and bus

We'll preface by saying there's no train station in Praiano, but taking the train from the Napoli Centrale train station to Sorrento is the best public transportation option. The Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento leaves about every 30 minutes throughout the day and tickets are about $3 (3 euros). The tickets can’t be bought ahead of time, so during the peak travel season or weekends, you may experience overcrowding or selling out. This part of the trip takes 1 hour and 10 minutes.

For about $8 (7 euros), you can take the Campania Express which is slightly faster and geared towards tourists. It has A/C, luggage storage, and most importantly, you can buy tickets online in advance to guarantee a seat. Once in Sorrento, you’ll need to take a Sita bus or a taxi to Praiano.

Naples to Praiano by ferry

While there are no direct ferries from Naples to Praiano, if you’d like to take a ferry from Naples to Sorrento, that is totally possible! The Alilauro Hydrofoil departs from the Moro Beverello Pier in Naples for just $14 (13.10 euros). Once you’re in Sorrento, you’ll need a taxi or bus to get to your final destination in Praiano.

The Church of San Gennaro

The beautiful Church of San Gennaro was built in 1589 and is located in the heart of Praiano. It is known for its stunning tiled floor and breathtaking views of the sea. It is also a popular wedding venue, and it is easy to see why!

Hike the Sentiero degli Dei (The Path of the Gods)

The famous Path of the Gods hiking trail offers some of the most spectacular views of the Amalfi Coast. The trail can be accessed from Praiano and leads to Positano. It is fairly accessible to all skill levels, so it does get crowded. Start early in the day to beat the heat and the crowds. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes!

Torre a Mare

The Torre a Mare was built as a watchtower centuries ago to defend against pirates. Now it houses a modern art gallery that overlooks the sea. It’s a quirky little spot for history buffs and art lovers alike.

Take a Boat Tour

Explore the coastline and nearby islands by boat. Many tours offer stops for swimming, snorkeling, and visiting secluded beaches and grottos. Definitely visit the Grotta di Suppraiano, a sea cave that can only be reached by boat. The cave is known for its striking rock formations and crystal-clear water.

The Church of San Luca Evangelista

While not as well known as the Church of San Gennaro, the Church of San Luca Evangelista has a beautiful Baroque interior with marble accents and notable artworks that are worth checking out. It also offers a quiet place for reflection.
