Praiano — sleep here instead of Positano
Five minutes by car from Positano, half the price, the same west-facing sunset.
What to do here
Walk down the stairs to Marina di Praia — a cove between two cliffs with a single seafood restaurant (Trattoria da Armandino) and a swimmable shore. Above, the church of San Gennaro has the coast's only majolica-tiled dome.
At sunset, walk up to Africana Famous Club on the cliffside terrace for an aperitivo. The view of Positano two coves over, in golden light, is the photograph you came for.
Where to stay

PracticalNaples airport to the Amalfi Coast — the four real options
There's no single right answer. The right transfer depends on your luggage, your group size, when you arrive, and where on the coast you're staying.

You eat your way through Naples or you don't really visit it. Five stops, three hours, two pockets full of paper cones.
