Paestum, a Paestum breakfast then — the temples, a swim, the archaeological museum and (if we’re not too tired) the Paestum Festival

9:00: Breakfast out at Vannulo’s, famous for its buffalos and breakfast (with buffalo milk cappucini and yoghurt, home-made pastries, and fruit drinks. This is a very rich breakfast but delicious!

10:30: – 1:00 We explore ancient Paestum together and students sketch one of its amazing temples. Spotlight: Paestum  the Doric Order: columns, temples,  statues … lecture, discussion, and sketching/collage session

1.00 – 4:00: picnic lunch and we relax at one of the beautiful Paestum beaches with little markets and cafes. 

4:30 – 6:3o: the Paestum Archaeological museum, which adds so much to our understanding of the ancient Greek city.

7:00 – 9:00: we drive around the ancient 6th century Greek walls, see the city gates, and have dinner in a nearby Paestum restaurant.

9:00: if we are not too tired (usually we are not!) , we attend an event at the Paestum Festivals. Otherwise, we just have ice cream at the temples, illuminated at night with beautiful lights.
