Called the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Maratea has one of the most suggestive views of the Golfo di Policastro with the iconic statue of Christ, holding his arms out to protect the village.

Maratea is also known as the city of the 44 churches.

The coast is lined with cliffs and beautiful coves with spectacular grottos, most notably the Grotta delle Meraviglie that can be visited by boat.
