#SAL023#
Paestum & Buffalo Mozzarella Farm
One of our English speaking drivers will be waiting for you at the gangway of your cruise ship in Salerno port. Your driver will then escort you and the group to your vehicle and this memorable shore excursion will begin!
Our day to Paestum will start as we drive by the town of Salerno, where just to the east and past the headlands of Pontecagnano, Battipaglia, and Eboli, lies one of the most well-preserved collections of Greek Temples from all over the world. Originally created as a tribute to the Greek God Poseidon, this city will impress upon you the history of this ancient period as it holds one of the best examples of the Doric orders in the west.
Since 1988, UNESCO has recognized Paestum as a World Heritage Site. Unlike the busy Pompeii and even Herculaneum, Paestum can often be deserted as it is off the beaten path other tourists take. The gleaming white marble of the ancient Greek temples that date back to the 6th century BC, set against the dark brown hills and deep blue sea, provide a uniquely Greek experience in Italy.
Today, the preserved temple of Hera II (once mistakenly believed to be the Temple of Poseidon) is one of three temples you will have the opportunity to see. You will have about 2 - 2.5 hours to visit the ruins and the archeological museum that is home to a rich collection of Greek art and antiquities, with a private guide.
Look out for the buffalo grazing on the roadside during your drive as Paestum is also home to the famous Buffalo mozzarella cheese. After you visit the Greek ruins and temples we will stop at one of these famous farms for a unbelievable tour, tasting and lunch.
After this beautiful and unique shore excursion we will drive back to the port.
We reserve the right to change the order in which we visit the sites.This tour may be shortened depending on your ship's in port hours
