Matera and Altamura Day Trip

On this day trip to Matera and Altamura, you'll visit Apulia and Basilicata.

Description

After meeting at the Teatro Petruzzelli at the indicated time, we will leave Bari to begin our day trip to Matera and Altamura.

Our first destination is Matera, a cave town located in a ravine, recognized by Unesco for its ancient rock-cut cave structures. The inhabitants lived in cave houses until 1952, forming two districts known as Sassi. We will explore its winding cobbled streets and enjoy the panoramic views of the Murgia hills.

After Matera, we will head to Altamura, where we will explore the historic center and its cobbled streets. Altamura is known for its artisan bread, considered the best in Italy.

In Altamura, you will have free time to eat and try this delicacy in local stone ovens.

We will reconvene to conclude the excursion back in Bari, arriving 7 hours after the tour begins.
