Things To Do

We recommend setting aside several days (or half days) to explore local cities such as Maratea, Diamante, Dino Island, Pizzo, Tropea, the Sila and the Pollino National Park. Sicily is 3 hours south following the coastal road. Amalfi and Positano, north of San Nicola, can be easily reached by car in less than 2 hours. After that, you'll want to lounge around the vacation rental, where you can relax with a glass of wine in one of the outdoor areas, or prepare your own meals. The beaches in San Nicola have paddle boats, kayaks and rafts for rent.

Our beautiful beaches and rocky coves, create a fascinating coastline. During the summer, the beaches are lined with places to eat and drink. There are paid beaches, where you can rent a chaise lounge chair with umbrella for the day, or free beaches where you can bring your own blankets or chairs and umbrellas. The Mediterranean Sea is clean and extremely clear.

In Praia-a-Mare, you can hire boats to explore Dino Island, its grottos and caves. Dino Island, is approximately one mile in circumference and is home to six magnificent grottos, easily accessible by paddleboat or canoe that can be rented by any number of beach lidos in operation from May until September. In the off-season, boats can be rented at hotels.
