Basilicata

Basilicata :

map Italy

Destination overview

Bordered almost all the way around by Calabria, Campania, and Apulia, Basilicata has nevertheless managed to hold on to a bit of coastline. A region composed of mainly mountains and hills, the typical Basilicata landscape might include wheat fields, accessible summits, and views of the odd distant village perched on the tip of a rocky outcrop. Everywhere here seems to have a look of abandonment and mystery about it, as well as the charm of an unchanging past. Religion is of great importance to the region's culture and its traditions and festivals are passed down from generation to generation. Basilicata, snubbed by mass tourism that focuses on the more famous Italian destinations, offers the opportunity of holidays off the beaten track along with the possibility of exploring unique places in the world.

pros

  •  The Sassi di Matera (cave dwellings)
  •  The sea at Maratea
