Praiano is a small town located on the Amalfi Coast in Campania, between Amalfi and Positano. It is spread out over a long stretch of coastline and has a small and picturesque harbor, Marina di Praia.
Praiano one of the most precious and refined tourist resort of the Amalfi coast, like a diamond is set in the most beautiful inlet, in the center between Positano and Amalfi. Praiano offers a sublime view, in fact it is possible to admire the beautiful ring of Lattari mountains, which surrounds Positano and the visitor‘s gaze is rapt by the archipelago of Sirenuse (Li Galli Islands) and the magnificent and powerful island of Capri.
Praiano has very old origins, even preceding the Republic of Amalfi. Since the first century, rich villas, belonging to imperor powers, were to emperors and rich roman people disposition. The village is really old and this is testified by the origin of the his name: Pelagianum ( which means open sea in Latin),later changed in Plagianum and finally Praiano. In the centre of the village, in a view point, is located the most important church of Praiano, in honor of the patron saint, St Luke Evangelist. The church was built in 1588 and is characterized by majolic art, in traditional Amalfi style; it has a simple and white facade, attuned to the surrounding environment.
The south part of Praiano goes over Marina di Praia, the only
landing place of the old Plagianum, with a beach dug between two high walls of rocks, at
the opening of the rough gorge of Praia. Nowadays Marina di Praia is an appreciate and
organized seaside resort. It is possible to reach other villages of the Amalfi coast
through brief boat excursions. The picturesque Grottos of Suppraiano and African Grotto
constitute an inevitable destination for every tourist. Private tours by boat during the
day and at night, or trough a shuttle boat, are organized from this wonderful beach to
arrive in the fascinating small beaches or mortises full of sun of the Amalfi coast and it
is also possible to rent rowing or motor boats, canoes, pedalos, ligurian fishing boats
and rubber dinghies. Unlike all the other villages of Amalfi, is a firm and unaltered

products of the sea. In restaurants it is possible to taste dishes of fish, prepared
according to the old tradition recipes.Between the local products it is impossible not to
