3kidslater Posted January 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hello, my husband and I will be doing an 11 day Southern Italy/Croatia cruise in May. One of our ports is Bari. We cannot decide between 2 excursions/sites there. The first one is The city of Matera, also called Town of Sassi or Stone Town. The other is Alberobello with it's Trulli houses. I think we are leaning towards Matera but the photos I've seen of the Trulli are also intriguing. Any input is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Morning Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We have been to both and they are both are interesting. Both are UNESCO sites. If I had to choose, probably Alberobello. Both towns are fun to walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted January 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We were there in May. Pulgia is wonderous. Fabulous food and wine and everywhere you look amazing art and sights. I love art and the cave art of Matera is fabulous. It is a stunning town and has fascinating history. I just returned from a WS cruise let me write more about towns and the city of Bari which is beautiful. Alberobello is pretty but becoming touristy in a bad way, junk in the little homes. Ypu can see the Trulli on the road ways have your driver drive by a couple. Will write in a few days need to get my life together. Happy Sailing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3kidslater Posted January 23, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thank you both for the responses. I will probably wait to decide the evening before at the port talk. I am a little more intrigued by Matera, wish there was time for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
