Description

Explore Matera, which looks like any small Italian town at first glance, but in a few steps from Baroque Churches and boutiques, you will discover a very special place called Sassi, one of the oldest cities in the world, where the people lived continually from the Neolithic Period until the 50th of the last century, and it is today the World Heritage Site and the stage for many films.

Highlights
  • Discover the Charmant Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world
  • Walk through the impressive lanes of Sassi
  • Visit the Cave House Museum and a 13th-century rupestrian church

    • After the visit to the upper part, be ready to go down through stair steps in Sassi to visit Cavioso, the oldest and most characteristic quoter of the Sassi, where you will look u close the cave dwellings and visit two very particular museums: Casa Grotta del Casalnuovo and Santa Maria alle Malve 13th century rupestrian church. Meanwhile, behind the information about the city, you will also get some suggestions on where to taste and buy the most typical gastronomic specialities of Matera.
