"Lucania opens its expanses, its valleys where rivers flow slowly like rivers of dust."     Leonardo Sinisgalli This small region in Southern Italy, with its mountainous heart, touches the Mediterranean Sea on two sides with gentle coastlines and beaches: to the southwest with the Gulf of Policastro on the Tyrrhenian Sea and to the southeast on the Ionian Sea in the Gulf of Taranto. These places were already important during the time of Magna Graecia when the region was still called Lucania, serving as strategic points from which to dominate the Mediterranean Sea. If you are considering a vacation immersed in the history and nature of these places, you couldn't make a better choice.
