Distance from Borgo San Gregorio by car: 75 km.
Just over an hour's drive from Borgo San Gregorio you can visit one of Italy's most fascinating archaeological sites - Paestum. Nestled in a country landscape gently sloping towards the sea, this ancient Magna Graecia site is a must-visit for lovers of history, art and timeless beauty. The perfectly preserved archaeological area is home to three majestic temples towering against the blue sky and offering breathtaking views. Walking through the ancient streets, the amphitheater, the walls and the ruins of the houses is like stepping back two thousand five hundred years. To top off your visit be sure to stop at the National Archaeological Museum of Paestum, which displays amazing finds. Paestum is surrounded by Piana del Sele, one of the main production areas for Campania's famous buffalo mozzarella PDO. Many dairy farms offer visitors guided tours, tastings and the opportunity to get up close with the buffalo themselves – an authentic, engaging experience ideal for families and lovers of good food. A few minutes from the site, the coast offers sandy beaches and crystal clear water, perfect for a relaxing break.
