About Matera
Matera is hometown to the famous “Sassi”. A maze of historic cave dwellings and churches etched into the Tufo rock surrounds of beautiful valleys.
The countryside that surrounds the town is great for many fun (and often stress-relieving) activities like trekking, biking, mountain biking, horse riding, and more.
