This is Metaponto, the perfect destination for those who want to immerse themselves in ancient history without giving up relaxation and the pleasures of nature.

Metaponto and Magna Graecia

Metaponto was one of the most important colonies of Magna Graecia, founded by the Greeks around the 7th century BC. Its name recalls the agricultural richness of the area: “Metapontion” means “between rivers,” and the fertility of its lands allowed the colony to flourish economically.

As you walk through the Metaponto Archaeological Park, you’ll admire ruins that tell a story more than two thousand years old. Excavations have unearthed temples, agoras, theatres, and necropolises—living testimonies of a civilization that deeply influenced the West.

Among the unmissable wonders are the Temple of Hera, known as the "Tavole Palatine," and the Temple of Apollo Lyceius. These majestic ruins, set in the Lucanian countryside, offer a truly evocative scene, especially at sunset when the golden light highlights the ancient columns.

The National Archaeological Museum of Metaponto

After visiting the archaeological area, our itinerary takes you to the National Archaeological Museum of Metaponto, one of the most important museums in Basilicata. Here you can admire exceptional artifacts: painted vases, statues, everyday tools, and funeral items that narrate the life of the Greek colony and its later Roman domination.

Thanks to our Taxi Service from Matera to Metaponto, you’ll have all the time you need to explore the museum at your own pace—no need to worry about schedules or transportation.

Metaponto is not only about history—it’s also a seaside destination perfect for a day of relaxation. Its fine sandy beaches stretch for kilometers, offering both equipped establishments and free areas, ideal for families, couples, and sea lovers alike.

The shoreline, with its shallow and crystal-clear waters, is especially suited for children. With our private taxi service from Matera to Metaponto, you can enjoy a carefree beach day, knowing you’ll have a dedicated driver to pick you up at the agreed time.

Metaponto Lido is the beating heart of local tourism. Here you’ll find seafood restaurants, pizzerias, beach bars, and evening venues perfect for a seaside aperitif. The seafront is ideal for a romantic stroll or a dinner under the stars after a day filled with cultural visits.

With our Taxi Premium Matera service, you can choose to stop at Metaponto Lido for a lunch of local delicacies or for a relaxing afternoon of sun, sea, and great food.
