Calabria to Matera

Today we left our resort in Calabria and set off for Matera, within the province of the same name. Before we left we took a walk down the road to see the wild flowers along the Calabrian roadside.

The red and orange poppies are amazing.

Anew butterfly, if only I can figure it out

And the weed of butterflies, called the Small White here.

A castle along the Ionian Sea, currently a restaurant.

The view from our new hotel outside Matera

The famous cave city in Matera. We go down to it tomorrow.

We had dinner in Matera before coming back to the hotel
