Inside Italy's Most Unique City: A Full Day in Matera's Ancient Cave Districts
Matera is one of those Italian cities that looks like it was designed to break your camera roll. We spent a full day exploring the ancient Sassi cave districts, underground cisterns, rock churches, panoramic overlooks, and everything in between, including a cocktail stop inside an actual cave. This is southern Italy at its most dramatic, and it earned every bit of it. If you're planning a trip to Italy and haven't put Matera on your list yet, this one's for you.
