Matera Holidays


europe
Matera holidays offer the chance to step back in time in a magical troglodyte city.

The UNESCO-listed Matera lies just beyond the Puglian border in Basilicata. Thought to be amongst the oldest settlements in the world, Matera’s Sassi districts feature over a thousand dwellings intricately carved from the rock and inhabited for centuries.

Explore the elaborate rock churches and monasteries, featuring extraordinary architecture and beautiful frescoes, and enjoy a truly unique stay in one of the boutique hotels hidden within the caves.

Trailfinders offers a range of Matera holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the region on a leisurely fly drive or you’re after a taste of adventure on an active group holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
