Basilicata is located in the heart of southern Italy, between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, and is still a little-known destination but rich in treasures to be discovered.
The nature of Basilicata is characterised by breathtaking landscapes, with imposing mountains, such as Mount Vulture and Mount Pollino, and beautiful coastlines, with the Gulf of Policastro and the beach of Metaponto. Basilicata’s national parks are among the most beautiful in Italy, and offer visitors the opportunity to go hiking or cycling through forests and unspoilt landscapes.
The cultural heritage of Basilicata is equally rich, reflecting the region’s thousand-year history. The city of Matera, famous for its Sassi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a true jewel of the region.
The cuisine of Basilicata is another strong point of the region, with typical dishes such as pasta with ‘peperoni cruschi’, Matera bread and dried figs. Wine is also a product of excellence in the region, with the famous Aglianico del Vulture.
