I heard from many friends that Naples is too congested and aggressive for your typical American driver… but I’m wondering if I pick up a rental car in Salerno to visit Paestum and nearby agriturism sites. Is the driving between Salerno and Paestum and Capaccio more “normal”?
We are always interested in dairies so if anyone has advice on farms or cheese and wine shops/ stops in that area, we’re thinking to spend 2 nights there.
Salerno to Paestum is straightforward. You will wind up on a dusty 2 lane road with plenty of heavy trucks, but the road is straight and easy.
Yep you'll have no trouble with that.
The most famous place is Vannulo, which you would need the car for: https://uncorkedinitaly.com/vannulo-pioneering-organic-mozzarella-in-paestum/
We walked to Barlotti from Paestum, more about that one here: https://www.deliciousitaly.com/campania-naples-food/buffalo-mozzarella-production-near-paestum
