I Sassi di Matera in Basilicata

The Sassi of Matera in Basilicata.
How much history you can breathe when you arrive in the narrow streets of the City of Sassi, Matera.
I was able to visit it thanks to the cruise excursion I took with my girlfriend a few weeks ago.
Truly such a beautiful place that I could not imagine.
These houses, built one on top of the other, are nothing more than the external part of real caves dug into the mountain.
This is the view you can enjoy from one of the most famous terraces: the Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio from which you can see the Sasso Barisano.

The origins of Matera are very remote and this is evidenced by the discovery in the surrounding area of ​​some settlements without interruption since the Paleolithic age. In fact, in the caves scattered along the Gravine materane several objects dating back to that era have been found, testifying to the presence of groups of hunters.

Sassi in Baia delle Favole

Sassi in Baia delle Favole.
Le mareggiate di quest’inverno hanno riempito la solitamente sabbiosa Baia delle Favole in una pietraia.
Più avanti nella stagione si provvederà a sistemare la spiaggia per la stagione estiva ma al momento il panorama è questo.
Non abbiate paura perché, se io mi ricordo bene, tutti gli inverni la situazione è la stessa.
