One of the OLDEST CITIES in the World - Matera, Basilicata - Italy
Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world and was an absolute surprise for us. It's biblical, magical and just awesome! Having been continually inhabited since 7000 BC it can stake its claim to being one of the oldest cities in the world for sure!
Join us for a walking tour around some of the highlights of Matera with ancient cave dwellings, hundreds of winding stone stairs linking tiny cobbled streets and amazing panoramic views. We only had a few hours to take it all in, you will want to spend a full day to experience everything Matera has to offer.

Beautiful, haunting place... one of these you want to visit again.
For a old city . very clean , incredible .
Visited Matera approx 15 years ago when Mateta was still mostly abandoned but on the brink of revival. It was beautyfull, part deserted part bustling with life.
Thanks so much for showing us this amazing city.

Thanks Andy glad you like it so far. Lots more still to come with special shout out to Leece and Gallipoli which we stayed in and was stunning!
Just visited Matera two weeks ago and I was speechless (in addition to being breathless from all the climbing and walking). Really a stunning city and your video portrays it perfectly. Thanks for revealing it to me, before I actually visited it.

Those aren't tuctucs, they are "Piaggio" "Ape". Piaggio is the same maker of "Vespa". Ape meaning bee and vespa meaning wasp. They were especially designed for Italian narrow and steep streets. Piaggio Ape are iconic. They were used to transport almost everything especially for small businesses or merchants 🙂

This place is unimaginably unique. That`s why is Italy called La Bella Italia.
Matera is amazing. It's a really '3D' city when you look at it, and no photos or videos can do it justice. Also, I had my best meal in Italy there (and that's saying something!)

Did you come on a cruise? I ask because you said you didn’t have much time here. I’m going on a cruise and we stop in Bari. Any idea how difficult it is to get there from Bari? I’m only in port for 6 hours.

No we were touring in a car for 10 days. I would ima get you can get a taxi there it would take one hour though, and I expect it would be around 70 to 100 euros each way! Quite a lot for not much time in the town.
