Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your input. The photos do look gorgeous neckervd.
However, We are now leaning towards flying to Palmero after Matera and perhaps staying in Sicily 2.5 weeks. I’m slowly making my way through the trip reports and thinking about whether to hire a car or not. And thinking of staying in Cefula and Ortigia and somewhere in between.

Sicily was a magical destination for me.

I thought Vieste in the Gargano was a beautiful, white town...there are sandy beaches stretching north off the town.
You have a good combination of sea, coastal views, and forest trails. (I've never heed there, though)
From there you could head north to Termoli or Vasto and then inland towards Naples.
Look, too, at Maratea--both the hull town and the stretch along the coast, below.
And Pisciotta, in Cilento.
