Tour of Matera and Grottaglie from Lecce

Variable
About this activity

This is the best tour to spend a day in Matera, the European Capital of Culture 2019. Discover the Murga plateau, the area rich in karst formations between alleys and stone houses, which ideally represents the central part of Puglia, touching the provinces of Bari, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Taranto and Brindisi.

Reach your destination in the morning on a comfortable and airconditioned 9-seater van conducted by a professional driver, who will share his passion for the territory with you.

First stop in Grottaglie after a 50-minute drive, which is renowned for its colorful ceramics. Near the famous "District of Ceramics", the Museum of Ceramics of Grottaglie tells the story of local craft tradition with its remarkable collection, which includes five sections (traditional use ceramics - majolica section - archaeological section - contemporary ceramics) and 400 artifacts ranging from household items to devotional objects and cribs.

The historic center of Grottaglie is a pleasant intermediate stop before reaching Matera, the location of many famous films and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city of the famous Sassi shows itself in all its ancient beauty. Enjoy plenty of time to visit the maze of narrow streets where worship and tradition create a unique atmosphere made up of churches and dwellings carved into the rock.
