Destination: Matera

The tradition says that “Meteoron” was the name given by travellers to the unique settlement while approaching the honeycombed “Sassi” and the stars reflected upon them like a meteorites’ shower.
The third oldest human settlement in the world (after Jericho and Aleppo), with its millennial stones in the “Gravina” steep cliffs, a plethora of unique frescoed rupestrian churches , a well-deserved UNESCO world heritage site , 2019 European Capital of Culture with countless artistic events and installations, Matera seems suspended in time , a magic place where enchantment blends with sincerely warm welcoming and delicious cuisine
