Policoro and Craco: The ghost town that still breathes…

Friday half day 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The itinerary begins at the National Museum of Siritide in Policoro, a treasure trove that preserves evidence of the ancient splendor of Magna Graecia. It is a journey through time that continues on to Craco, a village with a history dating back over a thousand years (8th century B.C.) and the historic fiefdom of the Attendolo Sforza family.

In addition to the charm of the town’s streetscape and the breathtaking view of the Calanchi, Craco tells a story of extraordinary rebirth. From an abandoned and forgotten place, the village has been transformed into a vibrant cultural hub thanks to outstanding venues such as:

MEC (Craco Emotional Museum): for an immersive experience in the history of the place.

Art and Film Workshop: the creative heart of the village.

Palazzo della Cultura: named after Gian Maria Volonté, a symbol of the indissoluble bond with the silver screen.

Today, Craco is no longer just a ruin, but an iconic location celebrated by the international media and chosen by the world’s leading filmmakers and brands for film, fashion, and advertising.

Includes transportation by motor coach, half-day guide in Italian, and Craco exterior tour
