Overview of your Matera tour:

Matera and its "Sassi". . . a breathtaking experience! I'm Gianluca, experienced and passionate tour leader, born and raised in this lovely part of the world. Join me and you will visit Matera with a local and live it as a local too! "In the Sassi caves is concealed the capital of the peasants, its heart hidden in their ancient civilization. Anyone who sees Matera cannot help but be awe-struck, so expressive and touching is its sorrowful beauty" Its districts of ancient cave dwellings, "Sassi", were declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1993 and are now one of the main italian attraction. People have been settling here for a long time: Matera is often cited as one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world. Last but not least, the visit of an ancient bakery in Altamura (XV cent. ) to give your experience a "delicious" touch (15 min away, known as "the city of bread") Look forward to meeting you!
