Maratea, between sky and sea

Undisputed pearl of Basilicata, Maratea is located in the province of Potenza at 300 meters above sea level and has 5,500 inhabitants. Your visit can only begin with the statue of Christ the Redeemer, completed in 1965, the best known monument in the city. Symbol of rebirth, positivity, love. A city with a tourist vocation, Maratea is able to intercept a wide variety of local, national and foreign visitors. The fantastic sea with crystal clear waters, repeatedly awarded the blue flag and the five sails, is certainly the pride of the area. But we must not forget that a few kilometers away is the mountain, an excellent destination for excursions, nature walks and trekking. The modern port is the jewel of which Maratea is most proud. Do not forget the artistic-monumental part with its village, the ancient part of the town, with a medieval layout, with its very narrow alleys and the remarkable sacred buildings among which the church of Santa Maria Maggiore deserves mention.
