The smallest town in the whole of the Southern Italy, it is a perfectly formed little gem that is a must-see.

If we're talking about the Amalfi Coast, we can't skip out on talking about the beaches – I mean, obviously, right? It is the most famous coastline in Italy, after all! There are some extraordinary beaches in the area and if you have found a vacation rental on the Amalfi Coast, you'll be spoiled for choice. However, two of the most beautiful of all have to be the beaches of Praiano.

Located smack in the middle of the Amalfi Coast, between the most famous towns of Positano and Amalfi, is the lesser-known and beautiful village of Praiano. A fashionable and lovely seaside resort, it was once the favoured summer residence of the powerful Doges of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi and now attracts a wide range of visitors from all around the world. Laid-back and friendly, it is a beautiful place that still retains the feeling of a quiet seaside village but boasts plenty of stylish restaurants, cafes, bars and shops to choose from. Come try the local dishes and sample regional wines while taking in the town's incredible views or sip coffee as you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the place.     Read More
