Praiano forms part of the outstandingly beautiful Amalfi Coast region, once a thriving Maritime Republic.

Building on its heritage of myth and legend, the modern day Praiano and Amalfi area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe.

Among Italians and foreigners alike, the area enjoys a reputation as a coastal paradise which is supported by its official status as a UNESCO site of world heritage.

The driving force of the economy nowadays is tourism but at one time the area and its natives depended on merchant trade, the production of Limoncello liquor and other agricultural items in order to survive.

It can also be argued that the imprint of the old sea-faring Republic is a vital ingredient that adds to the magnetism behind Amalfi’s popularity. Indeed, the nearby town of Amalfi pays tribute, in the form of a statue, to a man named Flavio Gioia, thanking him for the invention of the compass.

Add to this the fact that this area is widely accepted as the location for the Siren temptresses of Homer’s Odyssey, the obscurity surrounding the origins of the Amalfi region and the close proximity to the island of Capri.

Rich in natural beauty, full of character, dynamic, enticing and provocative, Praiano and the Amalfi Coast thoroughly deserve the title of the “Divina Costiera” (the Divine Coast).
