Alberobello & Matera, From Bari with Comfortable Transport

Alberobello is perfect to explore on your own. You can walk freely through the trulli of the Monti district and the Aia Piccola district, where you will discover an authentic atmosphere. The visit to the Casa Pezzolla Museum of the Territory and the Church of Sant’Antonio can be done without a guide, exploring the local history at your own pace. From the Belvedere Santa Lucia, within walking distance, you will admire spectacular views of the conical roofs.

The many local craft shops and products are accessible for shopping without the need for organized tours, and you can stop independently to taste Apulian specialties in restaurants or wine bars. The nature trails in the surrounding area are also easily accessible by yourself, on foot or by bike. Thanks to its compact size, Alberobello lends itself perfectly to an independent experience, making it an ideal destination for travelers who like to discover places at their own pace.

Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is perfect for a self-guided hike thanks to its compact structure and well-marked routes. You can explore the Sassi Caveoso and Barisano, ancient cave districts rich in history and charm, where houses are carved into the rock. Each corner tells the story of the past life of the city, which you can also discover by visiting the Casa Grotta, a house furnished as it once was.

Do not miss the magnificent Cathedral of Matera, located at the highest point of the city, and the fascinating rock churches, such as Santa Maria di Idris or San Pietro Barisano. The views are unmissable: climb to Belvedere Piazzetta Pascoli or Belvedere Murgia Timone to enjoy spectacular views of the Sassi and the ravine. The streets of Matera are ideal for walking, and you will be able to freely explore the historic center, stop at local bars or restaurants and immerse yourself in the timeless atmosphere of this unique city.
