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.
Depart by bus and drive southwards to the archeological site of Paestum where you will visit this ancient Greek colony founded in the 7th century BC. You will admire in the archeological area the three Doric temples – they are said to be the best-preserved Greek temples in the world. You will also visit Paestum’s museum which displays many fascinating artifacts, such as sculptures and tomb paintings discovered during excavations.
After visiting the temples, you will visit a local farm, where the famous buffalo mozzarella cheese is produced, entirely made by hand and exclusively with buffalo milk.
