Matera, Day 49 & 50

My last day trips from Bari were to the city of Matera. I was only planning on spending 1 day there but it was really impressive so I decided to come back for a 2nd day. The town has 2 old living quarters known as Sassis, one of these is primarily cave dwellings, walking these streets you feel like you could have gone back in time,

 


 
 











 
 
  






 Typical cave dwellings, the first 1 has been left with furniture as it would have had while inhabited,




Sunset,


 

 



Wandering the Sassi at night, this was quite an experience,

  1. That's pretty extraordinary. I'd love to hear more about what it was like at night...
