It is where the Basilicata region touches the Tyrrhenian Sea along a narrow strip of 25 km that you find one of the last bathing paradises of southern Italy. Crystal clear water and luxuriant vegetation, which stretches from the beach up to the heights of the hinterland, distinguish the countryside around the famous small mountain town of Maratea. Idyllic and yet unbelievably lively – especially at night -, Maratea with its narrow alleys, piazzas, bars and exquisite restaurants still spreads the magic of the Mezzogiorno. And above all this, visible form afar, towers the statue of the Messiah on top of the Monte di San Biagio. By the way: The Cilento national park is only 30 km away. Nearest train station: Maratea. Gorgeous sandy and shingle beaches as well as magnificently clean water invite you take a sunbath or a swim anywhere along the Costa di Maratea. Particularly lovely shingle beaches can be found near Marina di Maratea.
