Beb il Vicoletto

Maratea is an Italian town and comune of Basilicata, in the province of Potenza. It is the only comune of the region on the Tyrrhenian coast, and is known as "the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian". Owing to the considerable number of its churches and chapels it has also been described as "the town with 44 churches". It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia.

As you wander through the winding streets of Maratea's historic center, you'll be transported back in time. The town's medieval architecture and charming piazzas will make you feel like you're living in a fairy tale. Be sure to visit the Church of San Biagio, a stunning example of Baroque art and architecture.

But the true highlight of Maratea is its natural beauty. With its rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters, the town is a haven for beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Head to the stunning Spiaggia Nera, or Black Beach, named for its dark sand and pebbles. Or take a hike up to Monte San Biagio for panoramic views of the town and the sea.
