the Nature is the Charm of Maratea

Maratea. What about its fascination? It's the Nature !

Some say that Maratea is one of the 20-30 most beautiful places in the world... and probably it's true!
Surely those who had the fortune to know it are charmed by its charm.

Enchantment created by the treasures that Nature bestows upon this beautiful location.

But can one really consider as a single entity a mostly mountainous piece of land with many inhabited nuclei - the villages - stretching for over 30 km along the Tyrrhenian coast, with an area of more than 67 km² and mountain peaks exceeding 1500 meters?

I mean there are many Maratea, each one different but with the same level of beauty as the others.

A miracle of nature, or perhaps even better, a great gift from God, recognized as such by the very inhabitants who have worked to preserve it from concrete, striving to save it from speculation.

And anyone with even a basic sense of aesthetics can easily appreciate this effort: it is enough to just glance across the river Noce in Calabria to understand the difference...

Uncontaminated nature in its utmost expression of beauty, as is the entire region to which it belongs, Basilicata.

And Maratea is a magnificent witness to it, as a window to the Lucania that overlooks the sea with beautiful beaches, bays, and coves, as well as coastal and mountain villages that increasingly attract foreigners in search of a peaceful retreat, a new Chiantishire for Americans, English, French...

But there is no need to move there permanently: even a brief stay is sufficient to appreciate the joys of living in this land.

All the Charm of Maratea!

It's difficult to "explain" the charm of Maratea to those who don't know it: this guide you are consulting is a small help to better understand its origins and history, its inhabitants, the cuisine, the places to visit, where to eat, what to do after the beach, where to stay in the cozy small Hotels or in the most sought-after Hotels.

And explore the charm of Maratea by getting to know the names of its neighborhoods such as Acquafredda, Castrocucco, the Castle... but also nearby locations such as Rivello, Trecchina, Grumentum, the National Park of the Pollino, the Lao river gorges, the Certosa di Padula, and many others...
