1. Matera
Stay
About the destination: Matera is the capital of the Matera province in the Basilicata region of Italy. It boasts the sassi, well-preserved rock-cut settlements that are a World Heritage site and one of Southern Italy's many important attractions. The town center, the oldest part of town, was built on the edge of a bare plateau where a high rocky mount looms over the spot where a valley descends to the long deep river-ravine. This is where you'll now find the town cathedral and the fairly typical Italian town center. The town's main historical museum, the Museo Nazionale Ridola, contains exhibits from distant eras of Basilicata's past, from prehistory to the Roman age (closed Monday mornings; a small entrance charge). Nearby, Palazzo Lanfranchi houses the Museo Nazionale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna della Regione Basilicata - an art museum incorporating the Pinacoteca D'Errico, which has lots of religious paintings by southern painters and, more interestingly, the Centro Carlo Levi, which contains a range of paintings by the twentieth-century artist and writer who is a part of this region's modern history.

2. Castelmezzano
Stay
About the destination: Nestled in the dramatic Lucanian Dolomites of southern Italy, Castelmezzano is a hidden gem that enchants visitors with its unique blend of natural beauty and rustic charm. Perched on rugged cliffs, the village is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets lined with stone houses and vibrant flower boxes. Its history stretches back to the 10th century, and wandering its alleys feels like stepping back in time. One of the main draws of Castelmezzano is its breathtaking scenery. The surrounding mountains offer countless opportunities for outdoor adventure, from hiking and rock climbing to the adrenaline-pumping “Volo dell’Angelo” (Flight of the Angel) zip line, which soars between Castelmezzano and its twin village, Pietrapertosa. The panoramic views from the village are unforgettable, especially at sunrise or sunset, when the landscape is bathed in golden light. Food lovers will also find much to savor here, as the local cuisine features hearty Lucanian dishes made from fresh, regional ingredients. Be sure to try specialties like “peperoni cruschi” (crispy fried peppers) and handmade pasta dishes, available in the cozy trattorias scattered throughout the town. Castelmezzano’s tranquil atmosphere, friendly locals, and authentic flavors make it a perfect retreat for travelers seeking a slice of genuine Italian life. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a journey back through history, Castelmezzano offers an unforgettable experience in one of Italy’s most picturesque and lesser-known settings.
