Spiaggia di Policoro
The Spiaggia di Policoro is a beach on the Ionian coast in Basilicata with areas of sand and pebbles. The beach extends for several kilometers and offers both free sections and equipped beach clubs with sunbeds and umbrellas.
The ancient city of Heraclea once stood at this location and was founded by Greeks. An archaeological park today displays the ruins of this early settlement.
The name Policoro comes from the Greek history of the region. The beaches are used regularly by locals and visitors, especially in the evening when people walk and visit local restaurants.
The water becomes deep quickly, so swimmers should be cautious. Water shoes can be helpful for walking comfortably over the pebbles.
The Spiaggia Rosa is a special beach section in a protected natural area called Bosco Pantano. It can be reached via a short path through green forests.
