Praiano: Between Art, Sea, and Suspended Trails

If you're looking for an adventure that combines the power of nature with the beauty of art, Praiano awaits you!

This village, lesser-known but just as fascinating as its neighbors, is a real treasure trove of trails where every step echoes with history and every view is captivating. Here, hiking becomes an experience that feeds your senses, giving you breathtaking panoramas and the tranquility of an intimacy suspended between the sky and the sea.

Here are three itineraries to discover Praiano and its surroundings, designed for different difficulty levels but all with one thing in common: the authentic beauty of the Amalfi Coast.

Arriving in Praiano: The Start of Wonder

Your adventure begins on board the ferry, the best choice to fully enjoy the magic of the place without the stress of traffic. Feel the salty breeze caress your face, the rhythmic sound of the waves rocking you, and let your gaze get lost in the infinite blue.

As the coast draws near, Praiano reveals all its beauty: a succession of white and pastel-colored houses that climbing the slope, nestled between the dark green of the Mediterranean scrub and the deep blue of the sea.

Praiano and NaturArte: A Walk Between Sea and Art

Easy Difficulty Trail

This is a walk of about an hour and a half, suitable for everyone, that will take you through a path that winds through the heart of Praiano and touches the soul. Start from Piazzetta Capriglione and, step by step, let yourself be guided by the artistic installations of NaturArte.

Feel the roughness of Lucio Liguori's colorful ceramics and the stories of the sea told by Paolo Sandulli, which seem to whisper with the rustling of the wind.

The walk is gentle, between alleys that open onto sea-view terraces, where the air smells of flowers and salt, and glimpses of daily life that immerse you in the authentic life of the village. The walk can end at La Gavitella Beach, a refuge where you can relax in the sun, feeling the warmth of the pebbles and taking a dip in the crystalline waters to cool off.

Trail of the Flowering Agave

Intermediate Difficulty Trail

This excursion has a duration of about two and a half hours and a length of about 6 km, with an intermediate difficulty level. It's a loop trail that is a symphony of scents and colors.

From the center of Praiano, the climb leads you to the Convento di San Domenico, immersed in the silvery green of olive trees and stone sculptures that seem to dance to the rhythm of nature.

The trail continues, offering the penetrating scent of the Mediterranean scrub—thyme, rosemary, broom—and spectacular views of Positano Bay and the Li Galli archipelago. The descent leads you back to the village, passing through stretches of coast dotted with agaves and prickly pears, whose vibrant flowers contrast with the green vegetation and the blue of the sea.

From Marina di Praia to the Furore Fjord

Expert Trail

Now the game gets tough! This route lasts about four and a half hours, stretching over 10 km, with a high difficulty level, so the route is reserved for experts. This route combines the power of wild nature with the beauty of seaside villages.

From the center of Praiano, you descend to Marina di Praia, a small jewel nestled between high rocky walls, where the sound of the waves crashing on the beach becomes more intense. From here, you continue along the coastal path, enveloped in the smell of salt and the sea breeze, to the Furore Fjord, one of the most iconic places on the Coast, where the rocks tighten in a powerful embrace. The return journey is via internal paths, among terraces, olive groves, and ancient mule tracks, where the effort is rewarded by the quiet and unforgettable panoramas.
