You push off from Maratea’s sleepy harbor and the village slips behind you—white houses clinging to black volcanic rock, palms and scrub nodding in the sea breeze. The water is clear enough to read the contours of the seabed as you angle toward Punta Santavenere, where a sheltered cove once starred on the big screen. Waves become a conversation partner: gentle, then insistent where the wind runs along the cliffs.
