About Civita
Civita is a tiny Albanian-heritage hill town in Calabria's Pollino foothills, and for a first-timer it works best as a quiet base for the region's headline sights rather than a stop in itself. From here, the classic introduction is a ride through the rock churches and cave dwellings of neighbouring Matera, such as the Matera: Sassi Tour by Ape Calessino, a short, highly rated outing in a traditional three-wheeled Ape. If you would rather see the Sassi and the ravine from above, the Matera: Panoramic Tuk-Tuk Tour of the Sassi and Canyon covers the same UNESCO landscape in under an hour.

Frequently asked questions
Civita itself is small and steeped in Arbëreshë Albanian history, so most first-timer tours head out to the UNESCO Sassi of Matera, roughly an hour away. That means short, guided introductions by Ape Calessino or tuk-tuk, or full-day private-driver trips that also take in towns like Bernalda or Otranto.
