Appartamento in Pisticci

This is on the Ionian side of Basilicata at the edge of the Basento and Cavone lowlands, with broad agricultural plain behind the coast. The Ionian Sea is immediately present, and this stretch includes the long sandy shore and pine-backed coastal belt around Marina di Pisticci. The area is part of the wider Metaponto coastal plain, known for intensive farming and the remains of the Greek colony of Metaponto farther up the coast, but those archaeological sites are outside the immediate radius. Pisticci itself stands on clay hills inland from the shore and is known in Basilicata for its historic whitewashed quarter of Dirupo and for olive groves, cereals and fruit-growing in the surrounding plain. Matera is the nearest major city for higher services and transport.
