Italy is a sure bet if you’re looking for a sunny vacation spot that’s also rich in culture, history, and incredible cuisine. The country boasts major tourist hubs like Rome and Milan, but for travelers looking to avoid the crowds, there’s a lesser-known gem worth adding to your list. The Express reports on this.
We’re talking about the city of Matera, located in southern Italy. It offers a unique vacation experience and the chance to see a side of the country that feels like a completely different world compared to the usual tourist routes.
“This historic city is located in the southern region of Basilicata and is known for its extensive neighborhood of cave dwellings—the Sassi—which has been continuously inhabited for at least 9,000 years,” the article explains.
This Italian city is renowned for its exceptional cultural heritage, and its Mediterranean climate is very appealing to tourists in the fall. In October, the average high temperature reaches 23 °C and can sometimes rise to 27 °C, allowing visitors to enjoy the area without encountering the peak summer tourist crowds.
A blogger traveling through Italy showed her followers Matera, known as the “City of Stone.” In her video, you can see cave dwellings and a trail winding through incredible stone structures perched atop a cliff. The ancient city is absolutely beautiful with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings that look as if they’ve stepped straight out of a fairy tale.
“Matera is truly a magical historic city unlike any other. It’s the oldest city in Italy and perhaps in all of Europe. It’s 9,000 years old! I highly recommend staying here for at least one night to fully experience this magic. The sunsets here are stunning, dinner in cave-like restaurants will be unforgettable, and the sunrises are even better,” the blogger assured.
