With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Matera, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Cathedral of Matera, Palombaro Lungo and Church of Santa Maria de Idris. Don’t miss Gravina in Puglia either! Just 35 miles away, Capitular Library of Finia, Bastione Rinascimentale and Castle of Gravina are non-negotiable stops here.
