Surroundings to visit

Castellaneta e Castellaneta Marina



Castellaneta  is a small town embraced by a protected oasis that rises above a green, deep ravine. The heart of the village is still authentic; we recommend visiting the Cathedral, the Church of San Domenico and the Bishop’s Palace.

Castellaneta is linked to a very famous figure, the silent-film actor Rodolfo Valentino; in addition to his birthplace, a museum dedicated to him is set up here.


Castellaneta Marina

The Marina’s atmosphere is fascinating, and so is its close bond with seafaring life and the traditions it has always carried with it. Fantastic fish to enjoy for lunch and dinner in the characteristic restaurants on the beach.


The Beaches



Castellaneta Marina , golden sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters... salty air and a restorative sea.

Lidi attrezzati e spiagge libere, ristoranti e bar sulla spiaggia.

The area offers many opportunities, including golf, tennis and water sports.

Beautiful beach of Termitosa , riserva naturale.


Further south, the famous beach of Punta Prosciutto, a paradise for lovers of the sea and nature. 

Matera e i Sassi



It is one of the oldest cities in the world, where nature, history and culture blend together.
A place rich in scenery, unique architectural works and views of unparalleled charm, Matera has won over many artists, including Carlo Levi and Giovanni Pascoli, and continues to enchant with its Sassi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Worth a long visit, it captures the heart.

Taranto, the city of the two seas



Nicknamed the city of the two seas for its peculiar position between the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo, this very ancient city, whose origins date back to Magna Graecia, has seen Greeks, Romans, Normans, Saracens and Spaniards arrive in different eras.
In the Mar Grande, in the small archipelago that includes the two islands of San Pietro and San Paolo (the island of San Pietro has recently been opened to the public who love to visit its splendid beach), a historic population of dolphins lives and thrives, also appearing on the city’s coat of arms. Taranto is certainly worth a visit for its many historic monuments, from the columns of the oldest Doric temple of Magna Graecia to the imposing Aragonese Castle, symbol of the city, and also the beautiful Cathedral of San Cataldo.
The National Archaeological Museum, MARTA, exhibits one of the largest collections of artifacts from Magna Graecia, including the famous Gold of Taranto.
