With a full day guided visit it's possible to discover all the treasures of Matera (also the hidden ones in the surroundings) with the different colours of the daylight, to taste its wine, cheese, bread and focaccia. A walk in the Sassi (that means stones), declared Unesco world heritage site because they represent "the most outstanding, intact example of a troglodyte settlement in the Mediterranean region, perfectly adapted to its terrain and ecosystem" and also the other area of the city center (the medieval, the Baroque one, etc). We will enjoy this magic, unique town of stone that has been chosen as as natural set for several movies such as Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", the remake of Ben Hur and Wonder Woman, Marie Magdalene, James Bond 25 "No time to die", Terrence Malick's "The Way of the Wind". This itinerary is designed to enjoy slowly the evolution of Matera during the time, breathtaking views, unique flavors, local experiences and unforgettable memories.
- Belvedere (panoramic viewpoint) up on the ravine in front of Matera to admire the stunning skyline of this unique city and the caves utilized since the prehistoric times. If you like also some soft hiking in this area OR a stop at the daily food market OR a bread baking class -Crypt of the Original Sin with its astonishing frescoes made in the 8-9th century A. D. -At lunch I suggest a quick visit to a bakery to taste the traditional bread, focaccia and almond biscuits. If you prefer a longer served lunch there is the farm next to the crypt, a restaurant in Matera, etc. -Matera with the Unesco Sassi: a unique experience among rupestrian (it means carved in the rock) dwellings partly carved in the sandstone and partly built with the blocks extracted from the rock. -A typically furnished cave dwelling to understand the life of a peasant family until WW2. -The ghost town used as movie set. -If you like we can enjoy the medieval and baroque area, a stop for a gelato, cheese, salami and wine tasting.
