Cersuta
cove · Maratea · Campania
Cersuta is a cove on the coast of Campania.
The nearest town is Maratea.
It lies in Gulf of Policastro.
The bay opens towards the west-south-west (250°).
Small coves on the Maratea coast, at the foot of a hamlet perched above the sea: clear water, wind-sculpted rocks and unspoilt nature make it a popular swimming stop on a cruise in the Gulf of Policastro.
