Ancient History: Puglia & Matera

by Voomago

A remarkable journey into two of Southern Italy's most captivating regions (Puglia & Basilicata), each with its own unique landscape, ancient history, and timeless towns. You will be traveling through vast plateaus, rolling hills, deep ravines and caves and ancient stone walls. Passing small villages all with their unique and distinct cultural and culinary traditions, churches and fortresses carved into the rocks. Charming towns where ancient past and modernity have merged to create very unique spas, boutique hotels, museums, and restaurants.

MUST HAVE A CAR TO GET AROUND INDEPENDENTLY

Gravina is known for its deep ravines and ancient churches carved into rock. Its history goes back to the Neolithic age. This is a delightful town worth exploring, so consider staying 1-2 nights. Best recommendation for a b&b Sul Ponte - https://bebsulponte.it If their Deluxe Double room is available take it, you will love the two balconies with views!
