Description
After meeting at the Teatro Petruzzelli at the indicated time, we will depart from Bari for our day trip to Matera and Altamura.
Our first stop is Matera, a cave town recognized for its ancient rock-cut cave, the first UNESCO site in southern Italy. The inhabitants of Matera lived in cave houses until 1952, forming two districts known as Sassi. We will explore the winding cobbled streets and enjoy panoramic views of the Murgia hills.
After Matera, we will travel to Altamura. Here, we will explore the historic center and its cobbled streets. Altamura is particularly known for its artisan bread, regarded as the best in Italy.
In Altamura, you'll have free time to eat and can try this local specialty in one of the stone ovens.
We will regroup to conclude the excursion, returning to Bari approximately 7 hours after the tour's start.
