Getting around
Arriving
Maratea. On the Naples to Reggio Tyrrhenian line; the station sits below the hill centre, with local buses winding up and out to the port and the hamlets.
Tickets · Trenitalia (arrival) + local buses
Trenitalia app or machines; local tickets in bars.
Validate before boarding.
Maratea is a scatter of hamlets between mountain and sea; the little buses or a car stitch the port, the centre and the coves together.
On foot
- ·The Christ the Redeemer statue walk above town (or drive most of it) earns the full Gulf of Policastro panorama
- ·The historic centre's evening passeggiata and the tiny port's restaurants are the twin anchors
Taxis and driving
- ·The SS18 coast road south is a slow marvel; parking at the port is the summer pinch
