Golfo di Policastro — Maratea

Campania

Maratea on the Gulf of Policastro is the only sea-access town in Basilicata, dominated by a 21 m white marble Cristo Redentore statue on Monte San Biagio. The coastal path below links tiny coves, sea caves and fishing villages in a landscape as dramatic as the Amalfi coast but virtually unknown.
