About Basilicata

Basilicata rewards travellers who want their history up close and unhurried, and nowhere is that truer than in Matera, where daily life once unfolded inside carved rock. Walking its Sassi with a guide turns a landscape into a story, whether you join the Guided Tour of Matera's Sassi: Cave House & Rock Church or take the longer, more personal Private 3-Hour Excursion to the Sassi di Matera: Explore Rock Churches & Cave Dwelling.

Frequently asked questions

In Basilicata the history is the landscape. Matera's Sassi are inhabited rock dwellings and churches carved directly into the limestone, so a guided walk explains how people lived, worshipped and adapted over centuries rather than simply pointing out monuments.
