Summary

UNESCO Site, Sassi

Travel to one of the most ancient sites in southern Italy, the Sassi of Matera. Discover exactly why in recent decades this region has become a popular destination among filmmakers and travelers alike.

Board your comfortable motor coach from the pier area and travel approximately 1-hour to Matera in the Basilicata region. The site consists of a set of ancient rock caves that were inhabited from the Neolithic times until 1952. This area holds such unique and tangible history, the atmosphere here is extraordinary and the venue exudes a mystic air.

You will visit the most characteristic areas of the site to get an understanding of the uniqueness of this place. So special is this place, it has convinced movie directors to choose it as a location for their films; including ""The Passion of the Christ"" by Mel Gibson, filmed entirely on location here.

You will return back to the pier area and your ship on board your comfortable coach.
