The coastline continues to be amazing. Mountains and massive cliffs dot the whole of the west coast coast of Southern Italy. We appear to be one of the few boats out on the water which is incredibly surprising for such beautiful weather. we spend most of our time lazing about in the cockpit, occasionally trimming the sails and beetling along sometimes as fast as 8 knots. It's a hard life.
The Maratea marina is a delightful place to stop. The pace of life is slow, the coffee is superb and the locals friendly.
The main town is high on the hill above the marina. Very beautiful narrow alleyways and cobblestone streets.Again, we took the local bus and had a30 minute ride through the mountain villages.
Great gelato!
The road back from the mountains gave us a glimpse of the local beaches. This one seemed quite busy, most of those we pass are empty of tourists.
