The Pollino National Park, established in 1988, is one of the most important protected areas of Southern Italy. This park covers the provinces of Matera, Potenza and Cosenza, in a border area between Calabria and Basilicata, which is a very important tourist attraction because of its scenic beauty and its artistic heritage.

Among the towns in the area there are a few seaside resorts such as Praia a Mare, and aesthetically charming villages like Papasidero, a small village that can be reached by a mindy street. The municipality of Papasidero is located near the Lao River, a waterway where in summer you can enjoy rafting. With the help of expert guides that during the winter sail the rivers of Argentina, in the warmer months tourists can experience this sport that can also be practiced by children.

Another very interesting village is  Civita, which enjoys a countryside of great beauty, where the inhabitants speak a language called arbëreshë. If you are visiting these beautiful areas, a real paradise of unpolluted nature and genuine culture, here are the latest offers to stay at a farmhouse!
