Latest reviews on Matera's beaches

Metaponto Lido beach
2 Lorelei Renard

The portions of fried calamari and calamari (two) were rather meager in comparison to their price. Upon attempting to bring my assistance dog, I was instructed to distance myself from other beachgoers. While the staff didn't treat me poorly, they also didn't address me directly, as if I were invisible.

Lido di Scanzano beach

This fantastic camping ground boasts a stunning shoreline that is not only open to four-legged friends but also features a team of friendly staff. The beach is a true natural wonder, with its picturesque beauty that is sure to take your breath away.

Nova Siri Scalo beach

Welcome to this charming little resort, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soak up some much-needed serenity. The rooms are simply gorgeous - modern, comfortable and equipped with a top-notch air conditioning system to keep you cool as a cucumber. The restaurant is a bit on the quiet side, but the local, organic produce is a definite plus. As for entertainment, it's not exactly the Las Vegas strip, but it'll do the trick. And while the sea may be a bit of a hike, it's nothing a good pair of walking shoes can't handle. Overall, this place exudes tranquility - and who couldn't use a little more of that in their lives?

We had a fantastic camping experience at this beach in the summer of 2020. The service and support from everyone were excellent, and the people were friendly. The location was perfect, and we had a wonderful stay with our family. We definitely plan on returning and highly recommend visiting the beautiful surroundings of Metaponto. The owners were incredibly helpful.
