PRIVATE NAPLES

Basilicata: Luxury Tour of Undiscovered Italy

Tour Code TUR-01442
Duration 7 days
Group Type Private
Departs From Naples

Overview

Our driver will meet you in Naples at a place of your convenience, the hotel, station or airport. From there, you will drive south. 

The tour begins with a drive along the gorgeous Cilento coast, stopping in Paestum to stretch your legs while you visit Italy's most impressive Greek temples. Spend the evening in the luxury of Basilicata's only 5-star hotel, enjoying incredible views out over the Tyrrhenian Sea while you relax on your private balcony.

Over the next couple of days, explore the surrounding area, the town of Maratea, the nearby Cave of Wonders, visit the monumental statue of Christ the Redeemer which looks down on the hotel, take a boat trip along the coast and visit a nearby island.

Transferring to Matera, your tour will take you through the mountains known as the Lucanian Dolomites, where you will visit two of Italy's most beautiful villages and have the opportunity to take the 'Flight of the Angels' between them!

In Matera, see the incredible transformation the town has made in the last 60 years, from one of Italy's poorest towns, described in 1950 by the then Prime Minister as 'a national disgrace', to a European Capital of Culture in 2019.  Wander freely amongst the caves, caved from the face of a ravine, where the townsfolk once lived in abject poverty, and which have, in more recent times, been a source of inspiration to artists and film-makers alike.

With special permission, a private guide will take you to Craco, a town with an equally tragic past. Due to the delicate nature of the town, no more than 35 people at a time can enter this ghost town that was hastily abandoned following an avalanche.

The tour will finish in Puglia, where you can take the train back to Naples or you may decide to explore another incredible region of the Italian south.
