Matera - Basilicata
"Matera"
If you are planning to be in Apulia and can find only one day to make a run into Basilicata, then head for Matera. Easily reached from Taranto or Bari, it is just across the border and lies at the western edge of an area called the Parco delle Chiese Rupestre del Materano. This is one of the most extraordinary spots I saw in Italy, which is why UNESCO has listed it among its 365 official World Heritage List locations.
