Your English-speaking driver will pick you up directly from your hotel or villa for a private tour of the Greek Temples in Paestum and a buffalo mozzarella tasting.
First you'll visit a cheese factory to see how buffalo mozzarella is made, with a bite-sized tasting included. The buffalo farm tour continues with the yoghurt making, buffalo-rearing, a visit to the farming museum and a stop at a leather shop. The guided tour lasts approx. 1hr and 20 mins.
Next, you’ll travel to the ancient site of Paestum, once the Greek colony of Posidonia. It is home to three nearly perfectly preserved Greek temples — Neptune, Ceres and Basilica—remarkable even beside the Parthenon. Within the archaeological area you’ll also discover city walls, a comitium (the site of the political assembly), an amphitheater, the temple of the good mind (mens bona), living quarters and more.
Along the Temple of Ceres, you can also visit the National Archaeological Museum of Paestum which displays the metopes removed from the Temple of Hera's treasury and some of southern Italy’s finest 4th century BC tomb paintings.
Tour length: 8-9 hours Included: Mercedes vehicle, English-speaking driver, factory entrance fee, all taxes, tolls, fuel and parking Excluded: Private guide, lunch and entrance fee at the temples.
