Highlights

Matera - First of all, we are going to Matera from Bari to explore the city’s rich history and stunning landscapes. Here, I’ll share stories about the city’s evolution and its transformation from a symbol of poverty to a UNESCO World Heritage site. We’ll start in the ancient Sassi districts, where I’ll lead you through the labyrinth of cave dwellings and alleys. You’ll learn about how these caves were once homes, churches, and even monasteries, providing a glimpse into how people lived here for thousands of years. Next, we’ll visit one of the rock-hewn churches, adorned with ancient frescoes. To better understand life in the Sassi, we’ll tour a “Casa Grotta,” a restored cave home furnished as it would have been centuries ago. In the end, I’ll give you some free lunch time. After it, we’ll head to Alberobello.
Alberobello - Once we arrive in Alberobello, we begin our tour by visiting this fabulous town, known for its iconic Trulli houses. We’ll explore two amazing districts called Aia Piccola and Rione Monti. The first one is a quieter area with fewer tourists, where some Trulli are still used as private homes. The second one is considered to be more touristy, and yet, it has a very picturesque and decorated streets lined with hundred of Trulli - the town’s signature whitewashed, conical-roofed dwellings. We’ll visit one of the trullo house in order to understand better the construction of it and how people could live in. Also, we’ll visit the unique church, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, built in trullo style, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture. In the end, I’ll give some free time so you can enjoy it on your own, after which we return to Bari.
