33. Murgia Park and Sassi di Matera sunset tour
4.7· 30 reviews· 2.5 hoursThree hours with a local guide — scenic trails, ancient caves, rock churches and stunning views of the Sassi at sunset.
“Having previously enjoyed an excursion with this operator, I opted for the Murgia Materana tour this time. Once again, our guide, Federico, provided a fascinating experience, revealing a different aspect of Matera's history with insights into its geological, botanical, faunal, and religious significance. The two-hour tour concluded beautifully with a breathtaking view of the sunset over the city from the caves, as the lights began to illuminate the landscape. The walk through nature and the caves was delightful—there's an alternative outdoor option for those with claustrophobia—making it suitable for participants of all ages. Reaching the Murgia takes just five minutes via comfortable buses departing from Passi nei Sassi’s base, with a cost of 25 euros per person.”— LauraM978
