Matera and Gravina The Stone Cities and Cinema Set
Matera
About
This private tour goes beyond the classic Matera experience by combining its iconic landscapes with a second, lesser-known destination that most travelers never discover.
Alongside the famous Sassi, you’ll explore Gravina in Puglia—a dramatic canyon town where ancient caves, underground spaces, and the striking aqueduct bridge create a setting that feels both raw and cinematic. The contrast between the two locations offers a deeper and more complete understanding of the region.
With a private setting and a carefully balanced itinerary, this experience is designed for travelers who want something more original, immersive, and far from the usual tourist routes.

Itinerary
1
Matera
Step into Matera, a city that feels more like a landscape than a destination, where entire neighborhoods are carved directly into the rock.
As you move through the Sassi, you’ll walk along ancient paths, pass cave dwellings still shaped by centuries of daily life, and reach panoramic viewpoints overlooking one of the most striking urban canyons in Europe. The contrast between silence, stone, and vast open views creates an atmosphere that is both powerful and deeply immersive.
More than a visit, this is an experience of space and perspective—where history is not just seen, but physically felt at every step.
3 hours
2
Gravina in Puglia
Discover Gravina in Puglia, a hidden gem carved into a dramatic canyon landscape, where nature and history merge in a raw and unexpected way.
Walk across the iconic aqueduct bridge—famous for its appearance in the James Bond movie No Time to Die—and take in breathtaking views over the deep ravine below. Then explore a lesser-known side of the region, where ancient caves, underground passages, and rock-cut architecture reveal a quieter, more mysterious past.
Far from the crowds, this stop offers a powerful contrast to Matera—more rugged, more intimate, and surprisingly cinematic.
