Villages and remote monasteries here have long been connected by a series of ancient footpaths, which provide a perfect opportunity for walking and hiking. As you go take a trip back in time on visits to Greek Paestum, Roman Pompeii and Capri where Emperors held court during the Roman Imperial era more than two thousand years ago!

Today, Paestum boasts three well-preserved Doric Greek temples, ruins of an ancient city and an excellent museum.
