TRIP INFORMATION

Sassi and Trulli, perhaps the most distinctive accommodation to be had in Italy, both are steeped in history and folklore.Imagine an early morning stroll through the Sassi district with the warming southern Italian sun just appearing over theskyline. Or waking in a Trullo and looking up at the bizarre conical ceiling above your head. Unique experiences. Experience thisjourney with Ramblers Walking Holidays.

We start on the high plains of Basilicata just across the border from Apulia. The town of Matera, cultural capital of Europe in2019 is an elegant, cultured place. Steeped in history, the famous sassi cave dwellings have been inhabited since the earliestof times. Great changes have been made recently, the caves are beginning to turn into hotels and private residences. For anidea of how things were, consult Carlo Levi’s famous book, Christ Stopped at Eboli. We explore the town and the sassi but alsowalk the Gravina valley to the south of town.

We transfer the short distance to Alberobello to discover one of the most distinctive skylines in Italy. The conical roofs of thetrulli buildings, in which we stay, dot the landscape for miles around. Each room has all facilities and a front door that opens onto the street. The cafe restaurant Terre Madre where we will take breakfast and sometimes dinner is also close at hand.

The local area being predominantly limestone has always had issues with water supply. To combat this a network of irrigationcanals were built in the early 20th century to bring water from Basilicata, the neighbouring province. As well as irrigating thefertile farmland these canals, which are covered, also make for excellent walking. Our walk along the Canale de Pirro providesa generally �at walk through undisturbed nature and offers excellent opportunities to view birdlife, �owers and butter�ies.Later it is possible to arrange a visit to the very impressive Castellana caves. The beauty of the caves is well renowned, aunique guided tour of the caves to more than 60 meters deep in an amazing scenario made of stalactites, stalagmites,concretions, incredible shapes, fossils, canyons and caves with fantastic names.
