Basilicata
Between untouched nature, remote mountains, and two coastlines: your guide to Basilicata.
Our guide to Basilicata
-
Flair
One of Italy's most unspoiled regions — genuinely off the tourist trail.
-
Travel season
May through September is the sweet spot for nature and outdoor experiences.
-
Travel duration
Plan for five to seven days — enough to explore the nature and do Matera justice.
-
Price level
Seriously affordable by Italian standards — one of the best-value regions in the country.
-
Food
Don't leave without trying Peperoni Cruschi — crispy fried peppers that are totally addictive.
-
Transport
A rental car is non-negotiable here. Without one, you'll miss most of what makes Basilicata special.
