We rented an apartment in this quiet town for 2 weeks and could have stayed on!The town consists of a few grocery stores which stock the basics, 2 butchers, a fish shop, pharmacy and some souvenir shops.Most of the restaurants are in the local hotels and are quite upmarket. There is a small beach, Gavitella, about 400 steps down, with a bar/restaurant and umbrellas/sun beds for hire.Praiano is situated midway between Amalfi, a most charming small harbour town, with ferries to other ports along the coast, with the best ice cream we have ever eaten, and Positano, also a slightly larger port town, both popular tourist destinations,Both places have shops, restaurants and just so much to see, easily reached by bus from Praiano.From Amalfi possible to walk to Atrani, about 1 km distance, and a trip to Ravello is a must, a heritage town that just oozes charm.The highlight of this area must be Amalfi Drive itself, an engineering feat not to be seen any where in the world. The narrow road is a driving challenge for the bus drivers, and cars, for that matter as well.The beach of Praia, about 2 km from Praiano is on the level, with restaurants, which rent out sun beds and umbrellas.
This area is a must for sights not to be seen anywhere else.
