Experience the genuine tastes and rich history of Southern Italy with a private tour that takes you through the stunning Greek Temples in Paestum along with a delightful buffalo mozzarella tasting, all while being chaffeured in a Mercedes vehicle by our English speaking driver.
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. The archaeological area includes city walls, the comitium (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.
