Description

The Unexpected Summer in the South

Beyond the most popular destinations, summer in the South holds a hidden treasure between Puglia and Basilicata.

Sensory Experiences in Southern Italy

Unlike traditional tourist routes, this Southern summer becomes a multisensory journey. From the deep echo in the Castellana Caves to the mystical silence of Craco, from the intense aroma of Ionian vineyards to the sea breeze brushing against the Sassi. An experience that engages all the senses, turning a simple holiday into a personal story.

The Summer in the South and Its Hidden Rituals

Every area has its own rituals, and your summer in the South will unveil them one by one. Baking bread in the wood-fired ovens of Alberobello, morning fish harvesting with Ionian fishermen, the dance of lights at sunset over the Sassi of Matera. Moments that go beyond sightseeing, inviting you into the local fabric, discovering ancient traditions preserved by the communities.

A Cultural Crossroads: The Southern Summer between East and West

Summer in the South is a journey through time among Greek, Byzantine, Norman, and Aragonese influences. From the trulli, witnesses of a unique architecture, to the Tavole Palatine narrating the grandeur of Magna Graecia, to the Sassi showing how humans have perfectly integrated into the landscape. A cultural mosaic where every stone tells a different story, enriched by local cuisine that blends Mediterranean flavors with Eastern spices.
