マラテア

In the Basilicata region lies a Tyrrhenian treasure. Maratea is a postcard-pretty town set high above the sea, rustic and restful in equal measure. It’s also the name of the wider commune – a jigsaw of tiny towns with sloping streets and tucked-away bays. Locals gossip outside little cafés. Life moves at its own pace. While a Christ the Redeemer-esque marble monument watches over it all.
