Review & FAQ:

The ancient and picturesque town of Praiano is perched high up on the cliffs that plunge down towards the clear Mediterranean waters. Its beaches are small, nestled in tiny coves, and often crowded. One of the most beautiful is Gavitella Beach, which is only 30 meters long and has two concrete piers that add more space for sun worshippers.

The views of Positano and Capri Island in the distance are spectacular. There is a nice restaurant on the beach offering meals and refreshments. To reach the beach from the Praiano main square, go down the over 400 steep steps that are cut in the rock, or take the shuttle boat, which is free for restaurant guests.
