Itinerary

  1. Explore the ancient city of Matera, one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk through the famous Sassi districts (Caveoso and Barisano), where houses, churches, and streets are carved directly into the rock. Discover panoramic viewpoints overlooking the canyon, visit hidden corners, and experience the unique atmosphere of a city that feels suspended in time. You’ll have the opportunity to explore at your own pace, take unforgettable photos, and understand how this extraordinary place evolved from a prehistoric settlement into one of Italy’s most iconic destinations.

    4 h

  2. Continue your journey in Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its iconic trulli, the traditional white stone houses with conical roofs unique to this region. Stroll through the historic districts, where these distinctive structures create a landscape unlike anywhere else in the world. Explore local streets filled with artisan shops, discover the cultural significance of the trulli, and enjoy a slower, more relaxed atmosphere compared to larger cities. This stop offers the perfect contrast to Matera—lighter, brighter, and deeply rooted in rural tradition—allowing you to experience another side of Southern Italy’s heritage.

About Bari

Bari is the port city of Puglia on the Adriatic, with a maze-like old town, a medieval basilica holding the relics of St Nicholas and a long seafront.

Bari's old town, Bari Vecchia, is a tangle of white lanes and tiny squares on a peninsula pointing into the Adriatic, and many of its streets feel more like shared courtyards. The Basilica of San Nicola, begun in 1087 to house the relics of St Nicholas, draws both Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims, and the cathedral and the Swabian castle stand close by.

Top-ranked sights in Bari: Swabian Castle (Castello Svevo), Trulli of Alberobello World Heritage Site (Trulli di Alberobello), Piazza del Ferrarese.
