Bari to Matera Shuttle Service
Book a transfer from Bari to Matera — from the lively Adriatic port to one of the world's most extraordinary cities: an ancient cave settlement carved into a dramatic limestone ravine, named European Capital of Culture 2019.
What to Expect
The 65 km journey takes 1 to 1.5 hours heading southwest from Puglia into Basilicata, through olive groves and rocky countryside before arriving at the edge of the ravine that reveals Matera's jaw-dropping Sassi cave dwellings.
About Matera
Matera is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities — a UNESCO World Heritage site where thousands of cave dwellings (the Sassi di Matera) cascade down the walls of a dramatic limestone gorge. Once called "the shame of Italy" for its poverty, Matera has been reborn as a luxury destination where boutique hotels occupy ancient caves, restaurants serve Basilicata cuisine in candlelit grottos, and the views across the ravine at sunset are otherworldly. The rock-hewn churches with Byzantine frescoes, the Casa Grotta museum (a preserved cave dwelling), and the panoramic Belvedere viewpoints make Matera one of Italy's most unforgettable experiences. Mel Gibson chose it as the filming location for The Passion of the Christ.
