Nova Siri is tourism, in fact it is the most visited town in Basilicata.
Usually we refer to Nova Siri with the appellations of Nova Siri Paese-Centro Storico (town-old town center), a characteristic village, and Nova Siri Marina, a town overlooking the sea of the Ionian coast.
Leaning against the Calabrian border, the old town center is located on a hill, where you can admire the charming historical part and the enchanting panorama that surrounds it.
The town of the Marina, which in recent times has expanded a lot, enjoys a flourishing summer tourism thanks to the charm of the beautiful sea.
