Naples to Paestum: Private day trip

Where Greek Gods Walked in Italy.

Paestum is known for its rich Greek history and abundance of mythological temples. Visitors should tour Neptune’s Temple and the incredible Basilica of Hera, before visiting Athena’s temple and finally, Ceres Temple with its impressive medieval tombs. Break up the temple tours with a stop at Caseificio Torre di Paestum to watch mozzarella being spun fresh, and taste burrata still warm from the vat. Or, try the local specialty, pizza with buffalo ricotta and lemon zest at Nonna Sceppa. Finally, detour to the town’s secret beaches at Lido Mediterraneo, a stretch of sand just five minutes from the ruins.
