Ape Tour Matera

Stones & Murgia Matera

The Sassi e Murgia tour is a complete experience that takes you beyond the town center, to the wild heart of the Murgia Materana Park. We will begin by crossing the Sassi with their intertwining caves, houses, churches and alleys, stopping at the most iconic points to be enchanted by the urban landscape carved into the rock.

From there we will move to the opposite side of the Gravina, where nature merges with spirituality: we will visit a cave used in the past as a home or place of worship, immersed in the silence and uncontaminated beauty of the park. From these heights you can enjoy the most spectacular view of all of Matera, a unique panorama that gives authentic emotions.

It is the ideal tour for those who want to connect not only with the city, but also with its rocky soul and the landscape that has made it famous throughout the world.

GUIDED TOURS IN APE CALESSINO ARE PRIVATE. IN CASE OF MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE, MORE THAN 4 VEHICLES WILL BE USED
