Things To Do
Alberobello
30 minutes away from Matera and Southern Italy's most iconic town, this UNESCO Site is home to hundreds of incredible white trulli (unique cone shaped houses).
Craco
Italy's ghost town! Craco is a ghost town and comune in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata, abandoned after the 1980 earthquake. It is a tourist attraction and a popular filming location.
Take an Ape Tour!
Explore the Sassi of Matera in an ape calessino (a three wheel tricycle!). On board the ape calessino you will travel through all the narrow streets and alleys. As cars are not allowed in the Sassi unless permitted, this is the best way to explore the historic centre aside from foot.
Parco Regionale della Murgia Materana
The best view of Matera is here!! The historical, natural and archaeological park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera , also called the Murgia Materana park, is a protected natural area of Basilicata.
