Our last walk of the Basilicata tour goes follows a trail south of Maratea, way above the Tyrrhenian Sea with views all the way in Calabria. We are joined by a local guide, Donato, who has a degree in environmental science and spent several years working in the forests of Romania.

The last three nights of the Basilicata tour is at Maratea, a gorgeous town the sits above the Policastro Gulf. We stay in an excellent 4-star with beautiful gardens and a dab swimming pool. An excellent way to finish the tour : a bit of seaside after all those mountains.

I know this may not have you licking your lips with desire but it was absolutely delicious. Peperoni cruschi are the signature dish of Basilicata - they are air-dried peperoni from Senise that are flash-fried and salted to give them the crispiness of a potato chip. Here they are used as a garnish for a coddled egg drizzled with spicy olive oil and sprinkled with aged pecorino cheese. Surprisingly scrumptious!

The view from my room at Rotonda, a very pleasant little town in southern Basilicata, our base for the three days from which we explore the Pollino National Park.

This is the Tree of the Seven Sisters, a fifty metre high beech tree with a girth of 5 metres in the Pollino National Park in southern Basilicata that somehow escaped the tree-cutters’ axes. It’s 300 years old and is made up by the amalgamation of seven different trees. It’s on a hike that finishes at the Belvedere di Malvento, a lookout views over the mountains of Calabria.
