Who said that Basilicata is a land that offers only wild landscapes and stones and mountains? This extraordinary region contains everything you could wish for in your vacation: history, unspoiled nature, art, tradition, food and wine and a wonderful sea.
Marina di Pisticci and Metaponto: crystal clear sea and the memories of Magna Grecia
The Ionian coast of Basilicata, from Policoro to Marina di Pisticci and Metaponto, seaside resort that will enchant you with their wide white beaches and the crystal clear sea, embraced by a green Pine forest.
Among the most famous beaches are those of Marina di Marconia and Cala dei Ginepri. Also in Metaponto, for those who do not want to give up art and history, do not miss the famous “Palatine Tables“, the Greek temple dedicated to Hera, with his 15 columns still remaining, in addition to the ruins of the temples of Athena, Apollo and Aphrodite, the castrum, and the necropolis.
The ancient Policoro, between sea, nature and history
Just go to the Ionian side and admire golden beaches and the clear sea with fine sand, ideal for a relaxing summer under the warm and welcoming Lucanian sun.
Many pretty villages to visit. Among these, the ancient Policoro, which offers a crystal clear sea and fabulous beaches, as well as ancient villages in the surrounding area and archaeological sites not to be missed.
Located a few kilometers from Matera, in addition of being a center of great history with precious archaeological finds from Magna Grecia, including the remains of the acropolis, with the temple dedicated to Demetra, Policoro is perfect for those who want both to spend a beach holiday , and having the opportunity to relax in nature, thanks to the presence of the Bosco del Pantano, a protected WWF oasis, rich in vegetation and very rare trees. It is here that you can walk by bike, on foot or on horseback, admiring landscapes of unspoiled beauty.
Of course Policoro is famous above all for its seaside, with its wide suggestive beach, where Caretta Caretta turtles still reproduce today.
