Step into the timeless atmosphere of southern Italy with a shared day trip from Alberobello to Matera, a city unlike any other. Travel comfortably by shared transfer and arrive at the iconic Castello Tramontano, the gateway to the ancient Sassi.

From here, choose how you want to experience Matera.

Option 1 – Guided Experience
After a short break to enjoy the surroundings, meet your local guide and begin a walking journey through the Sassi of Matera. Explore Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano, where homes, streets, and churches are carved directly into the rock. Discover hidden corners, scenic viewpoints, and stories of resilience that shaped life in the caves. The experience includes entry to a Casa Grotta, offering a glimpse into everyday life until the 1950s, and a visit to the rock-cut Church of San Antonio Abate, one of Matera’s most evocative sites.

Option 2 – Free Time in Matera
If you prefer independence, enjoy around 3 hours of free time to explore Matera at your own pace. Wander through panoramic terraces, browse artisan shops, relax in a café, or simply soak in the atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage city.

This shared experience is ideal for travelers who want an authentic introduction to Matera without worrying about logistics.
