The Gulf of Policastro

It is a large inlet that the Tyrrhenian Sea waters stretching from Punta degli Infreschi, in Campania, to Capo Scalea, in Calabria, its waves lapping against the shoreline of the splendid Lucanian coast. A succession of steep headlands and jagged cliffs, such as those of Masseta and Scialandro, which enclose a mixture of magical coves and intimate beaches. Along the coast and inland, nature and history blend together offering the vision of picturesque landscapes. Copious underwater springs flow from karst caves now submerged, previously populated in prehistoric times. The characteristic villages that dot the territory, both coastal and hilly, have to some extent different features from each other, in terms of culture, history and dialects; yet there are numerous common traits: the kindness, helpfulness and friendliness of the people. The purity of the air, the clarity of the waters of the rivers and the sea, the lush vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub and the woods, the majesty of the mountains, these shared commonalities reveal a nature that is still intact and at times even wild.
