【Time Travel in the Cave City】An Extraordinary Journey in Matera

Matera, located in southern Italy, is a UNESCO World Heritage city famous for its cave dwellings known as "Sassi." The cityscape, sprawling across limestone cliffs, feels like a movie set and was even used as a filming location for '007: No Time to Die' 🎬. Walking through the maze-like alleys, I felt a thrill of excitement as history and nature blended seamlessly, leaving me deeply moved. At night, the illuminated city becomes enchanting, making it perfect for couples 💑. Solo travelers can also enjoy a unique, tranquil experience that feels like stepping back in time. 📍Access: About 1.5 hours by bus from Bari Airport. Accessible by train from Naples or Rome 🚆. 🎯Travel Tips: - Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring the Sassi district! - Staying in a cave hotel offers a deeper connection to the city. - The city is most beautiful during the morning and evening light ✨.
