Basilicata is a region with a deeply rooted ancient history, an authentic land lapped by two seas, whose inland territory features a succession of diverse landscapes: from the Sassi of Matera to the Lucanian Dolomites, from the paradisiacal beaches of the Metaponto area to the badlands, all the way to mountainous zones that offer a wonderful variety of natural attractions.
Different landscapes for different vacations: when wondering what to see in Basilicata, here is a tour of the top 10 tourist locations in the surroundings of Borgo San Gaetano.

Bernalda

 
An old town center filled with characteristic and beautiful glimpses, set on a plateau that offers a breathtaking view. From here, a stay at Borgo San Gaetano is a must to best enjoy the surroundings of the Metaponto area.

Pomarico

Among the most beautiful historical settlements in Lucania, Pomarico offers an archaeological variety of great beauty.

Pisticci

Red roofs and the history of Amaro Lucano nestled among the valleys of the Badlands: Pisticci offers panoramas not to be missed.

Metaponto

Mediterranean scrub, golden beaches, and archaeology: Metaponto is an oasis to be fully experienced, with its nature, its parks, and its ancient history immersed in natural landscapes.

Tricarico

One of the most significant medieval historic centers in Basilicata, a must-visit on any proper historical tour to discover the Arab-Norman culture that emerges among the terraced gardens and the alleys of the Rabata district.

Craco

A ghost town, still a destination for film tourism that gives Basilicata an even more magical atmosphere!

Matera

Needs no introduction: the city of the Sassi, but so much more. European Capital of Culture, it is a benchmark for the entire historical, cultural, and culinary reality of Lucania.

Ginosa marina

A Blue Flag sea nestled among parks and nature reserves to be discovered, suitable for all ages. Although it is in the province of Taranto, and therefore technically in Puglia, Ginosa Marina is so close to the Lucanian border that we can say it belongs a little to both regions.

Marina di Pisticci

Exclusive charm, relaxation, and aperitifs by the sea. The marina of Pisticci is the perfect place to enjoy the Lucanian coastline.

San Costantino Albanese

A meeting of ethnicities and cultures that gives rise to one of the most beautiful villages in the region.
