Nova Siri Beach, Ionian Coast
Basilicata
The Ionian coast of Basilicata between Nova Siri and Policoro has 25 km of nearly unbroken fine sand — the longest beach in Basilicata. The hinterland is the Bosco Pantano di Policoro, the last remnant of the ancient Magna Graecia coastal forest. Loggerhead turtle nesting occurs in summer. The Pollino massif rises behind as an extraordinary backdrop.
