1. Museo Laboratorio della Civilta Contadina

5.0 based on 436 reviews
A restored XVI century building with court located in via San Giovanni Vecchio 60 (Sasso Barisano) is the home of the 500 m2 large Museo Laboratorio della Civiltà Contadina (Museum-Workshop of the Peasant Culture). The exhibition rooms are dedicated to the ancient trades related to the work in the fields but also to all the other handicraft activities carried on in the ancient quarters of Matera: sieve-maker, tanner, shepherd, basket-maker, cavamonti, shoe-shiner, barber, cabinet-maker, mastro d'ascia, blacksmith, tailor, conciapiatti, potter, knife-grinder, saddler, coppersmith, cobbler, peasant, scalpellino. Also, various every-day tools are exposed: farm tools, equipment for storage and processing of wheat, weaving equipment. Other rooms are dedicated to daily-life places - such as the public wine cellar and the typical house - and themes related to the South-Italy history such as brigandage, childhood condition and water-harvesting. The Museo-Laboratorio aims to be a dynamic structure among the tourism products of Matera and a reference for the development of the culture of the past through exhibition and educational activities.

Cantine del Notaio is glad to welcome new friends and Italian and foreign guests to taste its wines, visiting the ancient Franciscan grottoes of volcanic tufo radiating around the 'Facile', telling you about stories, territory tradition and about wine growing. Please Note: Excursion and/or wine tasting, need to be booked two days first.

We had a wonderful tour to the underground cellar of this winery and then enjoyed its rose wine and two best reds. The last red is the most impressive and perhaps delivers the profound character of Aglianico to me. This has added so much premium to our unforgettable journey to the south of Italy.
3. Il Mirto Solarium Bar
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 515 reviews
The solarium of "Il Mirto" is one of the most relaxing and characteristic places of Maratea and of the Lucanian coast. Directly overlooking the sea, with various accesses to the sea, it offers tranquility and coolness throughout the summer season. The right place to spend a day of true relax.

We visited on a Monday afternoon in late May and were the only people there. The beach is stunning (but pebbly) the views are exceptional and the bar is a hidden gem. The waitress was very helpful and brought us our food and drinks order with no fuss. She also showed us round the orto (orchard/veggetable garden) which was very interesting. Would go back any time - stunning

Absolutely...a must! Do you want to try the sensation of flying like a bird? Try it! it is a double flight, one part seems faster than the other because you are closer to the ground, so, better to try both!
7. Centro Storico di Craco
Overall Ratings

Those looking for places to visit in Basilicata, find in Craco one of the most fascinating and suggestive destinations, a unique place that combines art, history, landscape but also drama. Natural set for Cinema, hub for Art, Culture, Research and Innovation, immersed in the badlands, in the heart of Basilicata!

This was one of the highlights of my trip. Having researched the ruins of Craco Vecchio, I knew that I needed to contact il Comune di Craco and purchase the Daily Craco card. The office opened at 10am and I paid 15€ for the full experience. It began with a brief tour of the old convent, where I was the only person visiting so Saverio ended up giving me a private tour which was incredibly informative. After that, I went to the meeting point where I found about 7 other couples just waiting. Before we set off, we were all given hard hats and began the tour. Having paid attention to Saverio's private tour, I was already in possession of the history of Craco Vecchio which allowed me to spend most of my time taking photos. The overall tour took about an hour and there were even donkeys which were remarkably friendly. (Being a city dweller, I still find the idea of random farm animals something of a novelty.) It was a wonderful way to spend the morning, only a short drive from Matera.
