stroll through matera

enjoy a half day here lead by a local guide

Our first visit in Puglia was to extraordinary Matera, where the sassi, Paleolithic (15,000 B.C.) cave dwellings are truly astonishing. Aside from Petra in Jordan, Matera is the oldest continuously-inhabited settlement in history. You will also see amazing churches dating to the Middle Ages, carved into rock. It is recommended to visit Matera with a local guide, allocate at least a full half day for the visit.
