Population zero for over 60 years... Ever seen a real Italian ghost town? 🏚️✨
Deep in the heart of Basilicata sits Craco, a medieval village frozen in time. Following a massive landslide, the entire town was forced to evacuate. No one ever came back.
Today, you can safely walk through what they left behind: silent streets, crumbling plazas, and haunting ruins so iconic they were chosen as a filming location for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
On the way back to Matera, we stop at the famous Essenza Lucano museum for a taste of Basilicata’s most legendary herbal liqueur 🥃
📍 Round-trip transport from Matera included
