Famous for its Sassi and stunning landscapes, Matera, located on the border of Basilicata and Puglia, is not only breathtaking, but fascinating: Its history goes back more than 30,000 years. There are several rupestrian churches open to the public, a reproduction of a typical cave house that you can visit, and refurbished caves made into hotels and restaurants. The sassi districts are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

With this tour you will discover the apulian treasure trove of art, history, and nature. From golden beaches and crystal clear waters to the uncontaminated realm of nature made of great valleys and gentle hills covered with olive trees, vineyards, and luxuriant forests, as well as some surprising Mediterranean gravine (ravines). In addition to this exceptional heritage, you will visit three Unesco World Heritage Sites: Castel del Monte, the mysterious fortress of Fredrick II; the Trulli of Alberobello, characteristic drystone huts, unique in the world; the Sassi of Matera, unique urban settlement in the harsh territorial area of Murge.

A charming route takes you along the stunning coastline from Monopoli before heading inland to Conversano.
