Paestum and Buffalo Mozzarella Experience

  • Visit the ancient Greek Temples of Paestum
  • Taste fresh Mozzarella
  • Enjoy a guided tour of the Mozzarella farm

Paestum is famous for two things, its ancient Greek temples and its Mozzarella. The temples are considered some of the best-preserved temples in the world and the Mozzarella is unparalleled.

Your first stop is a local buffalo farm, where you’ll enjoy a fascinating guided tour of the estate. Watch skilled cheesemakers in action as they practice the age-old craft of curdling, spinning, hulling, and salting fresh buffalo mozzarella. This exclusive, behind-the-scenes experience offers a true glimpse into how the region’s renowned cheese is made. After the tour, relax with a light lunch and savor the authentic flavors of the area.

Next, step into the ancient world with a visit to Paestum. You’ll have two hours of free time to explore its remarkable Greek temples—some of the best-preserved in the world. Wander through this serene archaeological site, surrounded by the lush Cilento countryside, and let the ancient stones reveal the stories of Magna Graecia. Be sure to visit the nearby museum, home to fascinating artifacts and captivating insights into the region’s rich history.
