If necessary, guests can ask the driver for a short service stop at an autogrill, consistent with the itinerary and conditions of the trip. Any stop could extend the duration of the transfer.

Upon arrival in Matera you will receive paper information material with a suggested itinerary, the main attractions, the panoramic points and a selection of typical restaurants. You will have about 5 hours of free time to explore the city on your own and walk through the Sasso Caveoso, Sasso Barisano, Civita, Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the characteristic alleys carved into the rock. Depending on your interests, you can visit cave houses, cave churches, the Long Diver, the Cathedral and local craft shops or stop for lunch at one of the recommended restaurants. The visits indicated are optional. Any entrance fees, meals and guided tours are not included. At the end of the free time you will meet the driver at the place and time agreed for the return journey.

The route continues around Potenza and along the Basento Valley, crossing a territory characterized by woods, hills, small towns and picturesque rural landscapes. Approaching Matera, the landscape changes again, leaving room for the expanses and plateaus of Murgia. The places described are observed during the transfer and do not include stops or visits. Actual route may vary depending on pick-up point, traffic and road conditions. On request, the driver can make a short service stop at a motorway grid.
