With this excursion you’ll cross the border from Puglia into the region of Basilicata and onto Matera, where you’ll explore the town famous for its “Sassi”(caves). The story of Matera is a remarkable and moving story of a town which, during the 1950s was the shame of Italy. Matera has now turned itself around to become the pride of Italy, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1993 and the European Capital of Culture in 2019. You’ll have the chance to explore the town’s turbulent and fascinating past together with an expert guide. At the end of the tour you will return back to your accommodation with your private driver.
