Nothing is more relaxing than a holiday visiting an astonishing city such as Matera and having a coastal escape by the sea. You don’t need to travel miles and spend all day in the car to get a view of the sea. There are plenty of seaside towns on the Ionic coast with lovely beaches just a stone's throw away.
So, a day out to the beach is a real and appealing prospect.
It is good to get out of Matera every now and then to explore new places, with our selection of seaside towns, you’re sure to find a perfect golden beach or a beautiful coast path. On the Basilicata coast side there are very nice places such as Metaponto, Scanzano, Policoro, on the Apulia coast side there are Ginosa, Castellaneta Marina or the nice places close to Taranto. They're all wonderfully set up to welcome weary visitors looking for a relaxing beach day trip.
Furthermore, all of these towns were part of Magna Grecia and this area is a very important archeological area with museums, sites and finds.
