Half-Day Experiences in Policoro, Basilicata

Policoro sits where the Lucanian hills meet the Ionian Sea, a stretch of Basilicata coast known for its pine-backed beaches, Greek history and easy access to the inland villages. A half day here can mean anything from an afternoon on the water — such as the Policoro: Sunset Sailboat Tour Along the Coast with Aperitif — to a guided look at the region's abandoned hill towns on the Ghost Town Tour of Craco & Policoro Museum: History and Breathtaking Views. Both fit comfortably into a morning or an afternoon, leaving the rest of your day free.
