Maratea holidays
Basilicata on the Tyrrhenian Sea

Maratea holidays

Choose a hotel beside the water for swimming and long afternoons, or stay in the old town for piazza life. Maratea makes a natural seaside pause on the journey south from Naples to Calabria.

ExpertoItaly’s view

Old town or coast?

Maratea’s historic centre sits above the sea. Stay there for squares, restaurants and an evening passeggiata. A coastal hotel gives you easier access to swimming and quiet afternoons by the water.

On a rail holiday, plan the transfer between the station and your hotel. On a driving holiday, allow time for the viewpoints along the coast and an outing up to the statue of Christ above the town.
