Basilicata

Maratea is the gateway to Basilicata, a region dominated by the peaks of the Lucanian Dolomites and the woods of the Vulture and Pollino areas, against the backdrop of the Ionian Sea. You can climb different heights to try different cheeses: to Filiano for the Pecorino; to Moliterno for the Canestrato; and Pollino for the Caciocavallo Podolico. The same goes for the Lucanica, the ultimate sausage, whose stronghold is in Latronico, or for the Soppressata from Lagonegro and Lauria. Then you can wend your way from valley to valley, land of grain and olives, wonderful Sarconi beans and Senise peppers. The Murgia Materana introduces Puglia and an even more Mediterranean scenario.
