Had many many steps to walk down to the 'beach' which was rocks not sand but swam in the Mediterranean! Praiano is built on the side of a mountain with narrow steep streets and step walk ways from one level to the next. Everywhere you look the views are spectacular. Just amazing. Afternoon tea on a cafe terrace overlooking the water, lemon cake was 😋Read more

We enjoyed a lovely sleep-in today. Flora got up early enough to enjoy a run to Scala with Aaron. The jog down was nice; the jog up was something else altogether. How in the world do those professional cyclists climb mountains over such long distances? We’ve seen kids riding ponies up and down this part of town; maybe Flora could hitch a ride.

The afternoon sees us driving along the Amalfi Coast to Praiano. It’s a tiny little village by the sea wedged between Positano and Amalfi. Have we left Earth and landed in Heaven?? This little bay that we came to was devoid of tourists (except maybe us) and flanked by steep cliffs on either side. The eye cannot comprehend such beauty. We have lunch at a café next to the pebbled beach before dipping into the clear blue waters.

The water is so refreshing (limb-numbingly freezing cold)! After about 3 minutes of the body acclimatising to an ice bath, our swim was one of the most pleasant experiences we’ve had on this trip. The view of the bay as we treaded water is (I’m at a loss of words here) just breathtaking. In true Aussie style, we dried off (sun-baked) atop the pebbles and spent a good couple of hours lazing around without getting sunburnt. Praiano, you are truly a magical little gem in the Amalfi Coast.Read more

Amalfi by sea!
May 14, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we chartered a boat from LaBoa charters at Marina Di Praia. They picked us up by Piazza St Luca (only 125 some steps down),for the drive down to the marina. Thank goodness we didn't plan on walking .... It's crazy!

The weather was sunny but cool for most of the day. The coast is absolutely breathtaking from the water. We stopped in Positano and then for lunch at a beachside restaurant that was only reachable by zodiac. Finally we stopped in Amalfi and then went into Pandora's grotto. Just amazing.Read more

Streets of Amalfi
May 16, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Slept in a bit...well we still woke up before 8am.
Went down to breakfast in our hotel. Sat outside with an amazing view. Coffee was delicious along with scrambled eggs and bacon and tomatoes. NO PANINI TODAY!
We decided to take a walk and check out the area and do some SHOPPING. You don't have much space to walk as there are no sidewalks and the streets are very narrow. First stop was the bank. With the help of our reception gal we walked up the street. More like went up stairs after stairs after STAIRS. We finally reached the main street. Decided to walk our way down to the major street here to shop. Our first stop a small shop where they make LIMOCELLO. The man there was kind enough to take us to a small room where they cut up the lemons to make this drink. He also gave us samples of many of the drinks they make.
We walked further and stopped at a few stores and a beautiful church with an amazing courtyard and view.
Found a flower shop in which we went ahead and ordered a small bouquet. A new place which just opened 2 months ago. Still settling in and she offered to deliver it to our hotel. (NO EXTRA CHARGE)!! ✔
We asked about a hair salon place and walked with caution a little further down. FOUND IT and a lady who spoke english. YAY!! Had my hair washed and blow dried for only 20 euros. She did a great job.
Walked back to the hotel and decided to lay out on our deck for awhile. Gorgeous sunny day!
It was time to get ready for our little Vow Renewal and pictures.
After that we decided to have dinner. We decided to have dinner at our hotel. The waiter gave us a glass of champagne to celebrate our renewal. We had a local bottle of Red Wine which was wonderful with our Calamari appetizer and our Pasta/Rice with artichoke. Omg DELICIOUS. We sat there enjoying the beautiful view. The waiter told us to take our time. Thank goodness cuz this wine and champagne was getting to us QUICK. LOL.
We sat there and took in the moment...reminiscing, laughing and shed some tears. The most amazing part a WHITE BUTTERFLY flew in front of us as we started dinner. YES....looks like my DAD was with us❣ What a touching moment for sure.
We finished and as we were going to ask for our check the waiter came with some dessert the cook had made just for US. A lemon like cannoli with a creme that was yummy. On the house. We love how this hotel has taken care of us and they do so much to help you no matter what.
We will surely return again.....someday.Read more

Wanderung von Praiano nach Positano
October 5, 2020 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Heute war es ab dem Nachmittag etwas bedeckt, aber dadurch die Ausblicke vom „Sentiero degli Dei“ , dem Pfad der Götter, besonders eindrucksvoll. Die die 800 hm per Treppenstufen vergessen lassen.

Last day in Praiano. Went into Positano for the afternoon. Buses so busy and scooters everywhere but had some delicious food. Sorry just the remnants of my lobster!

Revello

Spent the day up in Revello- much higher up and really beautiful. Visited the very old Villa Rufolo and just loved it. Came back down from the mountain to the town of Amalfi.

Amazing place to explore. Loving the people photos. Those sandals are VERY stylish by the way. I'm sure Juliane would agree.
