5.00(4)Matera· Cave dwellings · stone cityEnglish, Italian2 options

Enjoy an unforgettable experience between three authentic jewels of southern Italy : Bari, its capital, Matera, the famous "City of Stones," a UNESCO Site, and Altamura, renowned for its DOP bread and Swabian cathedral. Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll begin your journey in Altamura, a city with medieval roots and the beating heart of the Alta Murgia. You'll visit the magnificent Cathedral of Frederick II, strolling through the narrow streets of the historic center. You'll also stop at a traditional bakery to taste the famous Altamura Bread. In the afternoon, the tour continues to Matera, where you'll immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Sassi, ancient dwellings carved into the limestone rock. You'll discover how the city, once a symbol of poverty, has been reborn as a film set and the 2019 European Capital of Culture.

Where this sits in Matera

Matera is about 1 hr 14 min by road from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport. A city carved into a ravine and lived in for nine thousand years, abandoned within living memory and now extraordinary again. Unlike anywhere else in Italy, and worth the detour south it takes to reach.
