Maratea is a pretty, medieval town, small and compact, typically Italian with narrow, cobbled streets, piazzas, numerous bars and restaurants and some unusual little shops. Visitors can buy local food specialities, wine, antiques, and local crafts, including ceramics and lace. The town nestled comfortably into the side of Monte San Biagio (644 metres above sea level). It is known as the town of 44 churches, but only 11 are in the town, the rest are spread around the area classed as Maratea.
