Sassi di Matera, Matera

Wonderful and charming place. We visited as part of the tour that helped to learn about the area and skip queue when entering old house dwellings and one of the stone churches. Place got really busy around lunchtime, so perhaps better to plan to visit early in the morning. Toilet facilities are not free, so make sure to have some euro coins.

Beautiful place, unique in the world. It looks going back in time. The architecture and the atmosphere of the place makes everything magic. You can find a lot of bed and breakfast where staying, but be ready to walk with the luggages. The town itself is small but nice. A guided tour is suggested to reach the best angles and to know where the movie sets have been placed. It could be also very romantic, if you come with the right person of course. You need the car or an organized tour to reach the place, but once you are here it is not needed. Highly recommended

Gorgeous stone town. Extremely busy even at the end of October. Thousands of people and hundreds of groups roam the streets so it’s rather difficult to enjoy the full beauty of the surroundings. Definitely visit but arm yourself with lots of patience. Easy to get to from Bari, via bus with two departures, at 7.30am and 4pm.

Great place to visit. Lots of stairs🪨 make sure you have water and proper shoes. The stairs are slippery. Running or Hiking shoes 👟with a good grip are recommended. Enjoy the restaurant on the way back up.🇮🇹☕🍹

One of my favorite city in Europe! Part of UNESCO, Matera is a city that will definitely be love at first sight. Paved roads and delicious Italian food, get yourself lost on their narrow streets. Lots of stairs, slippery if it rained. 5/5 summer destination.
