Matera is like no other Italian village I’ve ever visited! Referred to as ‘little Jerusalem’ it is one of the longest continually inhabited places on earth. Once thought of as a disgrace, Matera has recently been named European capital of culture & featured in the new James Bond film! I recommend visiting in Spring or Autumn as it gets HOT, especially if you plan to hike!
