About Basilicata
Basilicata rewards travellers who trade the coastline for its interior, where the Lucanian Dolomites rise in jagged spires and abandoned hill towns sit empty on their ridges. A day trip here is as much about the drive as the destination, and the standout option is the Castelmezzano: Lucanian Dolomites Rollercoaster & Tasting Day Trip from Matera, which pairs the peaks with local flavours. For a slower look at the region's strangest landscape, the Craco Ghost Town & Pisticci Day Trip from Matera with Amaro Lucano Museum walks you through a village frozen in time.

Frequently asked questions
Basilicata's outdoors are volcanic, eroded and largely empty of crowds. The Lucanian Dolomites near Castelmezzano offer ridge trails and panoramic viewpoints, while the badlands around Craco and Pisticci show a clay landscape that has swallowed entire villages. Trips here mix walking and driving through scenery you rarely share with other visitors.
