Overview

  • Discover a world built out of stone in Matera, one of the world's oldest cities still inhabited. Explore Sassi di Matera, a fascinating maze of culture and history made up of rock-hewn chapels and ancient cave homes.

    Alberobello, a charming town in the Puglia region of southern Italy, is world-renowned for its unique Trulli—traditional dry-stone dwellings with conical roofs. These iconic structures, concentrated in the Trulli di Alberobello – World Heritage Site, represent an exceptional example of vernacular architecture and have earned the town a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996.

    Your journey begins with Matera, capturing breathtaking views over the Sassi districts and strolling the atmospheric alleys.
    Then drive to Alberobello for the trulli houses of Rione Monti and Aia Piccola. Your driver allows flexibility for ideal lighting at each location before returning to Lecce.
