Matera is a fairly big city. One of its quarters is the old city. Just outside the old city are the Sassi - cave houses dug into the limestone rocks. The sassi are located on both sides of a valley. On the north side the Sassi Baresi have been partially commercially developed as offices and housing. The Sassi Caveosi, on the south side, are the most historically interesting.
There is a bus to Metaponto (€4)
There are many restaurants in the old city as well as outside.
Cafe Stone Age close to St. Antonius church in th Caveoso has a nice little terrace with flowers in pots and cold beers from all over the world.
There are hotels in Matera but staying at the many B&B's in the old town can be more interesting.
There is a tourist office at Viti Marco and one at the old city. The Viti Marco one has English-speaking staff which is very helpful and will give you a map and a booklet on Basilicata
