Kart Circuit Palazzo - Trecchina

Just outside Maratea, in Trecchina in the province of Potenza in Basilicata, the Kart Circuit Palazzo runs an outdoor track on the Lucanian Tyrrhenian coast, at the foot of the Pollino. The site sits in a mountain-coastal setting typical of the Lagonegro area: wooded hills, olive groves, the Tyrrhenian Sea a short drive away and the first Pollino heights. It is used by Tyrrhenian Lucanian locals and by Maratea (the 'Pearl of the Tyrrhenian') holiday-makers.

Trackside, the outdoor format offers a rhythmic layout suited to a range of skill levels, in the picturesque setting of the Lagonegro area. Several engine sizes are available, from beginner karts for kids to punchier versions for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Lucanian Mediterranean climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy days. The site welcomes family taster sessions, kids' birthday parties, stag and hen groups and corporate events from the Lagonegro area.

Trecchina is thirty minutes from Maratea, one hour from Sapri and two hours from Salerno. The region offers plenty more to see: Maratea (the 'Pearl of the Tyrrhenian') and its famous Christ the Redeemer statue (the second largest in the world after Rio), the Pollino National Park (the largest in Italy), Rivello (one of the Borghi più Belli d'Italia), Sapri and its beach, the Cilento UNESCO with Marina di Camerota and Palinuro one hour away, or a side trip to the Castelcivita caves or Paestum UNESCO. Karting in Trecchina is an option for Tyrrhenian Lagonegro holiday-makers and Pollino enthusiasts.
