One of the main characteristics of Maratea is the diversity of its landscapes, varying from breath-taking sea views to wooded hillsides and majestic mountains which sweep down to the sea creating steep cliffs.
Best italian beach: Roccella Jonica
Located in the Ionian Sea, in Calabria, it presents awesome waters and very well-groomed beaches. You can admire also the Medieval Citadel and its ancient Carafa Castle.
We have to mention its bike-sharing service and various pedestrian areas in order to limit pollution.

In the province of Cagliari, Sardinia, it is famous for its seaside resorts. It spreads over Su Sterru, the deepest caspian abyss in Europe.
