This is a mountainous and dry region. Destinations in the area could be a visit Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which is a city carved out of the rock (“tufa”), Metaponto home to an archaeological site with the Tavole Palatine temple, Maratea, a medieval town, now a popular seaside resort with crystal clear water, clean beach and many caves and grottoes for diving, along with other possibilities.
"We've learned the hard way that descriptions and photos on web sites don't always mesh with the real thing. Your choices, however, were top drawer and all the surprises were good ones. The selections you made and info provided were just what we needed to make this family vacation the trip of a lifetime! Our entire family enjoyed Italy to the fullest, in large measure thanks to your planning." - Bill Roccia, Oct. 2006
