Magic Maratea

Traveling out of time,

                  along timeless roads.

The first one to embrace you in the morning is the gulf.

Just a few meters walk along the small path that connects the historic centre with the main road, you will feel immerged in a triumphal view of steep rocks that slide into the sea, and the thought is obvious, you might say rhetoric: how admirable is nature. 

It really is a jewel of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In a variety of rocks, sea caves and beaches

this coast is lined with pines, olive and oak trees, carobs and holms which are silhouetted against the crystal clear sea.

Built upon a mountain ridge, the village

is entangled in an impressive labyrinth out

of little alleys which lead towards the sea;

and here, genuineness and elegance converge

in one single dimension.

Thanks to its back drawn and elitist atmosphere, Maratea has always attracted a cultural and intellectual high society as well as celebrities who felt the need to escape.

By dominating the splendor of an incomparable panorama, Saracen towers and feudal fortresses seem to shake hands.

Below, the translucent and profound sea,

the craggy and rocky coast, rich in vegetation,

and our classic cars sliding on along a road

left behind in the past.

With each bend seems to rise an imaginary

curtain and new sceneries open in front

of the travelers’ eyes leaving them literally captivated.
