Discover Basilicata
Basilicata is a land that whispers — through its ghostly caves, ancient forests, and forgotten villages perched on cliffs.
Between two seas, untouched by mass tourism, it holds one of Italy s most surprising treasures: Matera, a city of caves that glows at sunset like carved amber.
But beyond its famous stone dwellings lies a region of wild beauty and quiet awe.
Of shepherd trails and mountain magic. Of artisanal traditions and slow rhythms that resist time itself.
At See Italy, we design custom journeys that bring you into Basilicata s layered soul — not as a tourist, but as a guest welcomed into its living past.
The experiences below aren’t a set itinerary or a fixed package.
They are inspirations — a mosaic of moments and possibilities to be woven into a journey that’s entirely yours.
