Sassi di Matera

Matera, conosciuta come La città dei Sassi, si è sviluppata intorno al suo antico borgo. Nel 1993 è diventata Patrimonio Mondiale dell’UNESCO e sarà Capitale Europea della cultura 2019. Questi riconoscimenti hanno riscattato una città ritenuta vergogna nazionale. Grazie al volere di Togliatti e De Gasperi che hanno voluto lo sfollamento dei Sassi Matera conosciuta come La città dei Sassi si è sviluppata intorno al suo antico borgo. Nel 1993 è diventata Patrimonio Mondiale dell’UNESCO e sarà Capitale Europea della cultura 2019. Questi riconoscimenti hanno riscattato una città ritenuta vergogna nazionale. Grazie al volere di Togliatti e De Gasperi che hanno voluto lo sfollamento dei Sassi, Matera si è ripresa da questo periodo oscuro I Rioni del centro storico Il centro storico è suddiviso in quattro parti: Civita, Sasso Barisano, Sasso Caveoso e Il Piano. Le antiche civiltà che hanno popolato il lato della gravina dove attualmente sorge Matera, si sono insediate sulla Civita.

Sassi di Matera is a beautiful place, you have the impression you step in another world, an ancient one. Impressive churches, history all around, stunning views from each corner, splendid both by day but especially by night. Lots of restaurants to eat, lots of narrow streets where to get lost and enjoy the silence and the charm of the old city. You can admire it also from Gravina, if you pass on the other side of the canyon.

Il Mirto Solarium Bar

The solarium of "Il Mirto" is one of the most relaxing and characteristic places of Maratea and of the Lucanian coast. Directly overlooking the sea, with various accesses to the sea, it offers tranquility and coolness throughout the summer season. The right place to spend a day of true relax.

We visited on a Monday afternoon in late May and were the only people there. The beach is stunning (but pebbly) the views are exceptional and the bar is a hidden gem. The waitress was very helpful and brought us our food and drinks order with no fuss. She also showed us round the orto (orchard/veggetable garden) which was very interesting. Would go back any time - stunning

Volo dell'Angelo

Reviewed By ujio

Absolutely...a must! Do you want to try the sensation of flying like a bird? Try it! it is a double flight, one part seems faster than the other because you are closer to the ground, so, better to try both!

La Secca

Reviewed By Q4794QNsergioc

It was a secluded spot great for snorkelling. Bar nearby with offer of freshly made fruit smoothies and your usual range of cold beverages. Great parking spots in the shadow so even on a hot day you would return to a cool not overheated car. I would definitely recomend it

Statua del Cristo Redentore di Maratea

Reviewed By Oldjack - Greater Melbourne, Australia

Maratea is a quaint hill-side village about 2.5 hours south of Naples and sits in spectacular mountains by the sea. Built in 1965 the statue (made of white granite) of Jesus Christ sits on top of one of the highest cliffs or mountains overlooking the sea on what is called St Bagio. The statue is the third tallest in Europe at 21.20 meters and from finger tip to finger tip is 19 meters.Both Maratea and the statue are worthy of a visit.You can walk from the town but the best way is to catch a taxi and have him wait as it was not costly.
