Travel east from Naples to the rugged interior of the Basilicata region. These excursions typically focus on the sights of the city of Matera, including the UNESCO–listed Sassi di Matera—ancient cave dwellings carved directly into the limestone. Your guide will explain the city's transition from "national shame" to a European Capital of Culture and offer insight into its unique archaeological sites, as you explore the Rupestrian Churches or stroll through the narrow stone alleys. Many itineraries add a stop in the nearby village of Altamura. Tours offer the most practical, and stress-free, option for the multi-hour journey.
