  • In southern Italy's Basilicata region, caves snake through the hillside town of Matera - the remains of neolithic villages that date back more than 6,000 years. Correspondent Seth Doane visits a town reborn as some of its cliffside caves have been re-envisioned as restaurants, bars and luxury hotels.

      @@CestLePanda On the contrary, for us Italians it is the same in reading something in English or Spanish. You understand much more in reading something than hearing a person speak in that determined language. 😊

    Thank you for showing this. My heart pounded so hard at the idea of walking into a place where our species lived 6,000 years ago! Astoundingly beautiful. But I think I would like to stay somewhere modeled after the 1950s vs all the fancy fixin’ of today. For me that would be a distraction.

    Very similar to the caves at Cappadocia chimnes in central Turkey. The landscape there are white washed limestone, people with the museum tickets can explore caves on their own or join a tour. So many cave churches with Byzentine Christ paintings, the Christians were escaping prosecution and hiding in the caves with donkeys, goats. There are modern cave hotels near the town center, it should be slightly cheaper than those in Italy due to the Lira. I stayed in a hostel, the locals are very friendly and kind. Cappadocia is famous for the hot air balloon rides. I took it during my second morning @5am, the next 2 days, all balloon rides were cancelled due to weather conditions. Tourists had to leave without the balloon ride, but authority takes safety as priority.

    The best film depiction of this region is "Christ Stopped at Eboli" (1979) by director Francesco Rosi - based on the memoir by Carlo Levi, who was banished there by the Fascists in the 30's for being an Intellect and Jewish. It was so remote and backwards it was a 'punishment' to live there,

    A bit sad really to think that it takes nearly USD2,000 to spend the night in a place like this. Tourism for the rich, no homes for the local. Not sure who wins. I have been to Matera so many times and met only less than a handful of locals.

We paid one of the lowers BnBs and was far from that -- it is not about touring the caves but the juxtaposition of caves were people were nearly starving to now paying nearly 2,000 to stay in one.

    It’s beautiful, but I’d be too terrified to stay inside the caves. The entire Italian peninsula is prone to earthquakes. With my claustrophobia and the fear of earthquakes, sleeping in the hotel would not be an option for me.
