Description

Day Trip from Bari to Alberobello and Matera

 

Embark on a captivating full-day adventure departing from Bari in a comfortable private minivan. This unforgettable tour will take you to two of the most iconic destinations in Southern Italy: Alberobello, famous for its charming trulli, and Matera, home to the ancient Sassi. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a culture lover, or simply someone eager to discover unique landscapes, this day trip promises to be an enriching experience.

 

Arrival in Alberobello and Group Guided Tour

 

Your journey begins with a visit to Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its trulli – traditional dry-stone huts with conical roofs. Upon arrival, you’ll meet your expert guide for a fascinating 2-hour tour. Explore the Rione Monti, the monumental area of the town, where over a thousand trulli stand side by side, many now housing artisan shops, cafes, and restaurants. You’ll then visit the tranquil Rione Aia Piccola, a residential area that has remained untouched by commercial activity, offering a glimpse into Alberobello’s medieval past. Next, discover the Casa d’Amore, a National Monument since 1930, which showcases the evolution of trulli construction into more modern 19th-century dwellings. Your guided tour concludes with a visit to the Trullo Church of Sant'Antonio, perched at the highest point of the town, blending perfectly with its surroundings.

 

Arrival in Matera, Lunch, and Guided Tour of the Sassi

 

Next, head to Matera, a stunning city carved into the rock and named the European Capital of Culture 2019. Upon arrival, you'll have some free time to enjoy lunch at your leisure, perhaps sampling the local delicacies. Afterward, meet your guide again for a walking tour through the famous Sassi di Matera, a labyrinth of ancient stone dwellings and winding alleys. Your first stop will be the Church of Purgatory, followed by a visit to Piazza di San Francesco, where you’ll hear about the church’s history and the nearby Piazza del Sedile. As you wander through the Sassi, you’ll be mesmerized by the breathtaking views of the rock-hewn homes, alternating between steep climbs and descents. The tour also includes a visit to an ancient rock church adorned with frescoes and a stop at a Casa Grotta, a traditional cave dwelling furnished with period furniture and tools, offering a fascinating glimpse into past rural life.

 

Return to Bari

 

After a day full of history, culture, and unique sights, you'll return to the meeting point in Matera for your journey back to Bari. You’ll arrive in Bari in the evening, carrying with you unforgettable memories of your time exploring Alberobello and Matera.
