Lido di Policoro beach

Lido di Policoro is a popular beach in the Italian region of Basilicata. The central coastal area is packed with sun loungers. However, a little to the south, there is a green territory with a creek (Oasis of Bosco Pantano). It has a spacious parking lot. There is also a large free beach to the north. The town has also ancient ruins - not far from the sea, but these are not very interesting. Shore and seabed: pebble, sand. [edit]
