The Tyrrhenian Sea Gulf of Maratea and Policastro
Our stay in Amantea grew by a day and we had wanted 1 more to cover the weekend but unfortunately we couldn't make it happen. So we got one final day of beach only weather and then on Saturday Sept.2nd we headed north to Maratea.

Now Maratea's claim to fame as we reported in our Hidden Italy segment in 2014 is the 5th largest statue of Christ the Redeemer and since we wanted to take our time heading back up the coast we wanted to see it again. The drive up was super busy with tons of line ups of vehicles on the roads so the going was a bit slower. But our quest felt great to arrive and exchange photo taking with an Italian couple. We are always blown away with the video drone footage and music out to it. You can watch Bartolo's drone video here. Enjoy!
Later that afternoon we arrived in Policastro and found the last room for the night in the small village, right across the road from the Old town walls and Cathedral.
When visiting the cathedral we were really amazed at the detail in the artwork on the ceiling made of wood from the mid 1600's.

We are really glad we were able to make this happen!
