Villaggio Camping Maratea

Inland from Villaggio Camping Maratea, Pollino National Park’s canyons, peaks and pine forests are a 45-minute drive away while the mountains of Aieta are a little closer at under 25 minutes. Staying away from the seaside, the hilltop town of Papasidero with its third- and sixth-century church frescoes and wooden statues is also 45 minutes from the site, and you can peruse Palaeolithic cave paintings in the Romito grotto, an hour’s drive away, too. Coastal culture can be had in the seaside town of Cirella, 30 minutes away, which has a Roman mausoleum along with an ancient clifftop village that had the misfortune of being sacked not once, not twice but three times. If wanders around villages are right up your street, the medieval Trecchina, Rivello, Lagonegro, Tortora and Ajeta are all under a half an hour’s drive from the site as well.
