Carol:

We will be spending a week beginning of July in Campania. We'd then llike to stop in Basilicata before we head down to Sicily and fly out of Palermo. Any suggestions of where we could stay for 2 days around the 8-9 of July that would be great with our three kids (ages 13, 11, 10 -- they love sight seeing as long as we can stop for a nice meal and some gelati..ha!). Thanks!!

Hello Carol,
I came across your entry and decided to register.I am planning a trip to the Basilicata/Puglia region. I'm interested in an escorted tour and any information you might have.
Thank you

Dear mhead:

Here is an e-mail address:

Several years back, Luisa had tours to Basilicata. I am not sure if you will get any info, but it may help.

Good luck,

MY

Thank you. I just e-mailed and will get back to you.

Hello Michelle,
That e-mail came back as undeliverable.

Thank you,
mhead

I just happened to do a search for threads that I've posted on as "cmt" and was very surprised to find activity on this thread. This thread was somehow "lost" years ago and wasn't coming up in searches for any of the key words in the Fodors search box, so I don't know how you found it. But anyway, if you're trying to contact Luisa Potenza, try this address: [email protected] I don't know whether it's is a still a good address, but I think it is. I don't know whether she has a tour this year.

Other tour providers that have tours that include a small portion of Basilicata:
Italian Connection (Puglia tour includes Metera, which is in Basilicata)
ATG-Oxford (hiking in Pollino park, which straddles Basilicata and Calabria)
There may be other tours that focus on Puglia but also go to Matera in Basilicata, but I don't remember them at the moment.

In the post above, I obviously meant Matera (not "Metera").
