About Matera

Matera is carved into soft tufa rock, and at golden hour the Sassi glow amber while the Murgia plateau across the ravine turns pink and violet — a setting that makes even a short walk feel intimate. Couples can time a hike to the sunset with the Murgia Materana Park: Sunset Tour Amidst Canyons, Rock Churches & Sassi, or cross a rope bridge together on the Matera: Sassi, Murgia & Tibetan Bridge Adventure - History & Nature Hike.
