The Ghost Town Tour of Craco and Policoro｜Italy

Dive into the fascinating soul of Basilicata with a tour that blends ancient history, dramatic landscapes, and surprising modern creativity. Your adventure begins at the National Museum of the Siritide in Policoro, where you’ll explore artifacts dating back to the 8th century BC — the perfect intro to the region’s deep-rooted past.

Then it’s off to Craco, the famous “ghost town.” As you wander through its abandoned streets and weathered buildings, you’ll feel transported into another world. The surrounding Calanchi, with their lunar-like shapes, make the experience even more captivating.

Although Craco was deserted after a landslide in the 1970s, today it’s undergoing a cultural revival thanks to the Emotional Museum, the Art and Cinema Atelier, and the “Gian Maria Volonté” Cineteatro. The village has become an international set for films and photography.
