Just visited Matera two weeks ago and I was speechless (in addition to being breathless from all the climbing and walking). Really a stunning city and your video portrays it perfectly. Thanks for revealing it to me, before I actually visited it.
Oh lovely to hear you had a great time. We only had a few hours and would really like to go back and explore with an overnight stay. We had no idea how wonderful it was going to be!
Visited Matera approx 15 years ago when Mateta was still mostly abandoned but on the brink of revival. It was beautyfull, part deserted part bustling with life.
Ah, how nice been to see where your folks lived. It was a real surprise for us having never been before. Love to go back and spend more than 2 hours there.
yes MATERA is a gem...Research will help you..they have great wine and several excellent tours of the Sassi and there are great restaurants up in the new town..very local. antipasti antipasti in Puglia...to sample the regions/cities best bites. Plus Craco very near Matera is another ghost Sassi city..very eerie but beautiful. THanks for sharing
Those aren't tuctucs, they are "Piaggio" "Ape". Piaggio is the same maker of "Vespa". Ape meaning bee and vespa meaning wasp. They were especially designed for Italian narrow and steep streets. Piaggio Ape are iconic. They were used to transport almost everything especially for small businesses or merchants 🙂
Matera is amazing. It's a really '3D' city when you look at it, and no photos or videos can do it justice. Also, I had my best meal in Italy there (and that's saying something!)
Sono stata fortunata di aver avuto una professoressa di scuola che veniva da matera. E insegnava nel nostro asilo si chiamava sgnorina michina anche lei veniva da un orfanatorio di matera spostata a padula auguri🎈
Did you come on a cruise? I ask because you said you didn’t have much time here. I’m going on a cruise and we stop in Bari. Any idea how difficult it is to get there from Bari? I’m only in port for 6 hours.
No we were touring in a car for 10 days. I would ima get you can get a taxi there it would take one hour though, and I expect it would be around 70 to 100 euros each way! Quite a lot for not much time in the town.

This place is unimaginably unique. That`s why is Italy called La Bella Italia.

Where was the meal? We plan to go back at some point and I would like to pin it on the map to look it up!
@@MemorySeekers it was Osteria Pico. The antipasto was fantastic, and already a meal in itself.

Puglia is pronounced 'Poo-lia' ~ the g is silent, as in Lasagna.
the g isn't silent, the exact pronounciation is PuGlia!!
