The experience you don't expect!
A hot air balloon ride to admire Matera and its Sassi from above.

About an hour's drive from Bari , just beyond the borders of Puglia , lies a wonderful place where time seems to have stood still.

We're talking about Matera , one of the oldest cities in the world, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site precisely because of its origins. It's no coincidence, in fact, that Matera has been nicknamed "the city of stones ," because the ancient dwellings of Matera are literally dug and sculpted directly into the mountain (hence the origin of the Sassi di Matera ) , creating a place so evocative and well-preserved that it attracts the attention of thousands of tourists from all over the world every year.

Have you managed to imagine the beauty of Matera ? Well, with this important premise out of the way, now imagine flying over this evocative place from an unusual perspective, that offered by a majestic and colorful hot air balloon ! Basically, about an hour from Bari , an experience awaits you (that of a hot air balloon ride ) within another equally evocative experience (that of a visit to the Sassi of Matera ) .
The hot air balloon flight over Matera could very likely become your very own postcard to immortalize the beautiful Lucanian town from above; a fantastic experience to enjoy a panoramic view of the historic center and the evocative rock churches of the famous city of the Sassi .
It is therefore impossible to arrive in the capital of Puglia and not consider the opportunity not only to visit Matera but above all to admire it from above in all its beauty which obviously also includes the surrounding area in which the city itself is located, a natural landscape full of charm that provides the backdrop to the magic of this splendid place in southern Italy .

So, if you love breathtaking experiences or want to spend a few hours of your time in a decidedly alternative and unusual way, considering a hot air balloon ride as a complement to your visit to Matera will surely enhance your experience in the city of the Sassi.

Typically, many tourists arriving in Bari decide to consider a tour of Matera (as mentioned above, it's just an hour's drive, on the border with Puglia ) , which is why you too might want to consider this option. After all, visiting such an important heritage site and enjoying a unique experience like a hot air balloon ride isn't something that happens every day.
