Activity itinerary

Sassi di Matera (Pass by)

The walk will start in the new part of the city. In a few minutes we will reach the Sassi district, the famous and ancient district of the city included in the list of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. We will visit the entire area passing through its magnificent alleys and various panoramic points.

Sasso Caveoso (Pass by)

This historic district of Matera is characterised by rock houses dug directly into the limestone rock. It is famous for its picturesque streets and suggestive views of the surrounding landscape.

Sasso Barisano (Pass by)

Contrary to Sasso Caveoso, Sasso Barisano has houses built above the ground rather than dug into the rock. It is known for its unique architecture and charming cobbled streets that lead through the heart of Matera's old town.
