Matera is a unique city in the south of Italy in the province of Basilicata, an ideal starting point for exploring the ancient history and wildlife of the region. Its stone quarters and cave dwellings create a sense of time travel, and its convenient location makes the city a base for day and multi-day itineraries.
The history of Matera is visible in every stone: the old town of Sassi, listed by UNESCO in 1993, is an ensemble of cave houses that gave rise to legends and preserved traces of the earliest settlements. Numerous churches and museums contain frescoes and archaeological finds, and evidence of human presence dates back to the Paleolithic; in 2019, the city became the European Capital of Culture, confirming its cultural significance.
The natural landscapes around Matera are no less impressive: the Murgia Plateau, deep ravines and picturesque viewing platforms offer opportunities for hiking, photographic outings and wildlife observation. Nearby are picturesque villages and the famous Alberobello with its traditional trulli, which makes the area ideal for combined tours and outdoor activities.
Formats of walks are diverse: quiet hiking routes along Sassi, road trips around the neighborhood, individual programs and atmospheric group tours. For a comfortable perception of history and local traditions, excursions in Russian are available, as well as excursions with a Russian-speaking guide, which make each trip understandable and emotionally rich.
Local guides share not only facts, but also live stories, show secluded views and help to feel the rhythm of this unusual region. Book a guided tour and discover Matera, a city that is at heart with its landscapes, history and humanity.
