1st DAY Istanbul - Bari (Matera Tour)

We arrive in Matera, named the 2019 European Capital of Culture, located in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This city, known as "Sassi di Matera," has caves and tuff rock formations hollowed out on both sides of the Gravina Canyon valley since prehistoric times. Its status as an ancient city, living conditions, and appearance have drawn the attention of Hollywood filmmakers. Consequently, films like Pasolini's "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew," Ferrara's "Mary," Beresford's "King David," Hardwicke's "The Nativity Story," and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" have been shot here.

2nd DAY Bari (Puglia Triangle Tour)
After breakfast at the hotel, a free day awaits you. Guests who wish can participate in the extra Puglia Triangle tour, consisting of Alberobello & Castellana Grotte & Polignano a Mare (145€). First, we will head to Alberobello. UNESCO World Heritage-listed since 1995, Alberobello will enchant you with its differently shaped white houses and roofs. The Trulli houses are built by stacking stones without mortar. During the reign of the king, as the housing tax was significantly increased, people built their houses this way so that when royal officials came for inspections, they could pull a cord inside the house to collapse the conical roof. We continue our tour to the Castellana Caves, known as the world's oldest cave system. The cave system comprises limestone known as calcium carbonate and rock, extending 3348 meters and reaching depths of 122 meters. Our next destination is the coastal town of Polignano a Mare. When we reach the beach through the narrow streets of the town, the high cliffs and the bright white houses against the backdrop of the deep blue bay welcome us.
