Paestum en route to Casalvelino

Unknown to me but Paestum is en route and three almost unworldly Greek temples stand solidly within a ruined Greek complex. This southerly part of Italy once occupied by the Greeks and known to the Romans as Magna Graecia.

This morning I have seen many weekend cyclists flashing past on a flat smooth coastal road. Today is the start of the Giro d'Italia and fingers crossed I view the race further south in a few days time.

Onwards from Paestum the scenic coastal road is beautiful but 'lumpy' and the 'closed' hotel in Marina di Casalvelino a low point!
