Matera's Wonders and Passion

Matera's Wonders and Passion

Embark on an extraordinary expedition to Matera, Italy, where time stands still amidst the enchanting Sassi di Matera, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and revered as the globe's third oldest city. Depart from the pier, traversing the picturesque Apulian countryside on a leisurely 75-minute drive towards Matera's historic heart. Lose yourself in the intricate network of narrow streets and staircases, each corner unveiling tales of ancient civilizations etched into the rugged cliffs.

Discover Matera's unparalleled legacy, spanning over 10,000 years of human history. Matera is one of the oldest, still inhabited cities in the world: a magical place that preserves evidence of human settlements since the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) period in its natural caves carved into the rock. Marvel at the resilient spirit of its inhabitants who have dwelled within the rocky confines for millennia, crafting homes from the very stone that surrounds them.

Step into the cinematic realm of Matera, a favored backdrop for numerous acclaimed films, including "The Passion of Christ," "Wonder Woman," and James Bond "No Time to Die," where the timeless landscape seamlessly blends with the narrative of legends.

After a journey through time, savor the flavors of the region with a delectable lunch featuring local specialties, before embarking on the return drive to Taranto. Depart enriched by the profound experience of Matera, where history, culture, and cinematic allure converge to create an unforgettable voyage through the annals of time.
