Maratea

After Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, we decided that we'd head south along the western coast to Maratea ("the other Amalfi" in Italy).  We were glad we did.  We ran into a beach that was stunning with NOBODY around.  It went for kilometers.  We took some stunning drives too.  This is an area of Italy not many tourists get to. We were very glad we did.
This is  a road that they couldn't build the hairpin tight enough to stay on the mountain so they build it over thin air!  



Here's why we drove all the way up there...  The thing is about 80' tall.

And the view from the top wasn't bad either!




Nice little town.... a crappy little apartment you wouldn't dare live in because it was so run down was 389K Euros.  I guess they all get their properties passed down.
