Golden beaches and crystal clear sea, a rich surrounding countryside and an archaeological park that recalls a glorious past: Metaponto, a touristic place in the province of Matera, is a truly unmissable destination for those who want to discover the richness of Basilicata.

Metaponto overlooks the Ionian Sea and lies between the two rivers Bradano and Basento; the plain of the “metapontino” is a very fertile land with a wide production of fruits such as oranges, strawberries, apricots, so much to be called the italian California . The always mild climate and quiet atmosphere make Metaponto an ideal place for relaxation.
